Title: Vehicle Fraud After Catastrophe
Description: According to CARFAX, there are 452,000 vehicles suspected of being flooded cars in the US in 2023. This is a 13.4% increase from 2022. But, in a devastating catastrophe, with the loss of life and property, it’s easy to forget the vehicles. This session will discuss a view of different catastrophes (CATs) (such as Harvey, Katrina, Allison) and/or large-scale loss events from the scope of vehicle loss. This will include a view of the dollars in play, a view of the challenges to investigating this type of fraud, and a view of tools and methods available to fight CAT and/or large-scale losses related to vehicle fraud.
Learning Objectives:
- How hurricanes and weather events affect vehicles and the insurance industry that insures them

- How fraudsters take advantage of consumers after catastrophic events
