Auto insurance fraudsters are the target of a team of new and dedicated prosecutors and investigators announced by the Ontario government Wednesday.
The province said it plans to set up in the spring of 2018 what it calls the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), which will consist of a team of investigators, prosecutors and “specialist.” All will work in “one central location to address complex and large-scale frauds.”
The government said Tuesday that it will develop standard treatment plans for common collision injuries such as sprains and whiplash, create independent and neutral examination centres to provide medical assessments for more serious injuries, and ensure that contingency fees set by lawyers are fair and transparent.
In 2013, Premier Kathleen Wynne promised to cut auto insurance rates for Ontario’s 9.7 million drivers by an average of 15% annually by August, 2015.Upon failing to achieve that promise — the government today claims rates are 6.6% lower compared to 2013 — Wynne shrugged off her original commitment as a “stretch goal.”
