From hitting animals that weren’t there to a sniper that didn’t exist, Manitoba Public Insurance has released its top five frauds of 2024.
From hitting animals that weren’t there to a sniper that didn’t exist, Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) has released its top five frauds of 2024.
The insurance company released its annual list Monday, noting these five frauds helped save ratepayers a total of $1.9 million.
Here are the top five frauds:
Coming in at number five was an alleged incident with wildlife on the highway. MPI said a claim came in where someone said they hit a deer on the highway coming home from the grocery store.
MPI found deer hair but noted the damage to the frame of the vehicle looked more like it hit a pole.
The claimant said they were travelling 110 km/h when they hit the deer that came from the right side of the road.
MPI brought in a collision analyst who determined the crash didn’t involve an animal, instead it was a pole or post.
