Crime Insurance Claim Examples
Here are some claim examples that illustrate what Crime Insurance covers.
Through a careful review of historical inventory records, order documentation, shipping manifests, and video surveillance footage, a regional grocer discovered that employees were siphoning off partial shipments of meat as they were delivered. The employees were arrested, convicted of grand theft larceny, and sentenced to jail time. More than $150,000 was paid to the insured for stolen goods.
Using a phishing scheme, an unknown criminal gained access to the email of an accounting manager of a healthcare provider which was constructing a new facility. The hacker set up an email account impersonating the GC’s and sent the manager a request to change “their” depository account. The criminal quickly withdrew the funds and disappeared, leaving the insured with a loss of over $2 million.
After a vendor called and complained that they hadn’t been paid, one West Coast agricultural company learned that someone had fraudulently cashed a check after changing the payee name to an unknown entity while leaving the original amount and signatures. A loss of $25,000 was paid under the crime policy.
These are examples of claims and do not represent claims that would be covered within a company’s policy. Every claim is unique and requires review of the purchased policy terms and conditions on whether the claim is covered.
