Brockton Man Pleads Guilty in Travel Insurance Fraud Case

A Brockton man pleaded guilty and the case was continued without a finding for two years on three counts of filing a false insurance claim, two counts of larceny over $1200, and attempt to commit a crime.  The Brockton man alleged that on April 11, 2019 he suffered from a medical illness and was hospitalized during his trip to Lagos, Nigeria.  The Brockton man alleged that during the trip, he was treated by a doctor from April 11, 2019, through April 22, 2019 and he spent $2,537 for his medical treatments.  Investigation revealed that the medical documentation the Brockton man submitted for his alleged illness was fraudulent.  When the Brockton man’s travel insurance carrier withheld payment for the claim, he filed a small claims action.  The Brockton man allegedly presented the court with the fraudulent documents he submitted to his insurance carrier and to two other travel insurance carriers.  The Brockton man was paid on both of those travel claims.
