What is insurance fraud? I’ve been hearing this term a lot, but I’m not sure how it actually works. Is it just about making fake claims, or can small exaggerations count as fraud too? If anyone has real examples or knows the legal consequences, please share.

Any deliberate act of deception against an insurance company for monetary gain is considered insurance fraud. Applicants who lie on a policy or claimants who fabricate or exaggerate a loss—for example, by staging an accident or inflating repair costs for an unlawful payout—are examples of this.
