"According to the Insurance Fraud Bureau of Massachusetts,
millions of dollars are lost each year because of auto insurance fraud.
There are many types of auto insurance fraud, some of which are listed
below:
- Storing a car in a public storage facility and the reporting it missing.
- Claiming recent vehicle damage for damage that existed previously.
- Staged auto accidents
- "Enhancing" auto accident injury claims.
- Adding people to an accident report, even though they were not involved in the accident.
- Withholding information when applying for an auto insurance policy.
The costs of fraud must be absorbed somewhere, and the consumer usually ends up paying for these in higher insurance premiums.
Operating Under the Influence of Alcohol (OUI)

approximately 12,000 people in Massachusetts are arrested for drunk
driving each year. These people are classified as intoxicated when they
have a blood alcohol content level (BAC) of 0.08 percent or higher.
Massachusetts' accident statistics
indicate roughly 350 highway fatalities each year, with 150 of them
being alcohol related. This translates to approximately 40 percent of
Massachusetts' yearly traffic fatalities being directly related to the
consumption of alcohol. One hundred twenty of these deaths, or 35
percent of them were the result of drivers having a BAC level of 0.08
percent or higher. DrivingLaws.org summarizes
Massachusetts' penalties for drunk drivers. These include stiff fines,
victim restitution, license suspension, jail time or a state prison
sentence, ignition lock device and a court-assigned treatment program
depending upon prior convictions and other related factors.
