Is claims guys fraud?

In a word no. They are not a fraud or a scam. Definition of fraud is 'a deliberate deception or cheating intended to gain an advantage. Scam being the slang for fraud.

What they do is perfectly legal. Some claims are more awkward than others so using a third party can at times be helpful, even if just to assist in making it easier for the claimant.

They work on a 'No Win No Fee' basis. This indicates that they have to do work for you before they take the case on. Essentially insuring the case will win.

Of course they are going to want to be paid for that work as well as all the other work once the claim is under way.

Beware of companies that charge 'up front fees' for this type of work.

My advice is use them if you feel it will help but stay in very regular contact to keep up to date with how your claim is going. They should be able to tell you.

Is not claiming all employees on a commercial general liability insurance considered fraud?

Yes, if intentional, it is Insurance Fraud by concealment.

If it was not your intention to omit your employees then it is an oversight error on your application.

Should your insurance company find out you omitted or concealed information they have several options.

1. If the omission was unintentional, they will most likely just adjust your rate and bill you for the additional unpaid premium for your risk.

2. If intentional, they could cancel your policy out right due to a perceived moral hazard and still bill you for the unpaid premiums your risk represented.

3. If intentional, they could void your policy and refuse to pay claims associated with your business operation.

4. If intentional and a paid claim ensued, they could also file charges against the insured and / or seek reimbursement through tort from you for claims already paid.
