The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase of fraudulent activity, impacting insurers across various lines, including health, auto, and workers compensation insurance. In a new Installment of our Post-Pandemic Litigation Webinar Series, Seyfarth attorneys examine this trend and how whistleblower laws in California and Illinois can be used to penalize fraudsters and provide remedies for victimized insurers.

Topics covered as part of the presentation include:

• Types of common COVID-19-related fraud schemes faced by insurers.
• Claim handling strategies designed to address COVID-19-related fraud schemes.
• The power of whistleblower statutes in California and Illinois to protect insurers victimized by fraud.
