Salvage Across the Atlantic - How Written-off Vehicles Turn Up in Fraud Cases Across Europe: Insights Into the Work of an Operational SIU Department
​
Thursday, September 26, 2024
Time: 3:00 PM ET
Speakers: Jörg Oestreich, Nicole Dehmer & Michael Schubert all from Allianz ​​
​
This is one of the first IASIU webinars aimed at an international audience. We will cover a common understanding of the different tort laws. We’ll examine the differences between third-party and comprehensive insurance, with a look at German compensation law which allows for the possibility of fictitious compensation with proof of repair.
Also on the agenda will be how to properly investigate cases in Europe when previously damaged vehicles have been imported into the U.S. This often involves professional criminal enterprises. An emphasis of teamwork between SIU teams and IASIU members will be examined. We look forward to seeing multiple countries represented during this webinar!

Our Chapter
Upcoming Meetings & Events
The New England Chapter of the International Association of Special Investigation Units is a non-profit organization made up of insurance industry fraud investigators, state and federal employees, law enforcement, fire, and other anti-fraud personnel from both the private and public sectors who are dedicated to fighting insurance fraud throughout New England.
We strive to provide the highest level of education and training to our members while promoting awareness of the insurance fraud problem here in the Northeast. Through our relationship with our International parent organization (IASIU) we are able to offer industry recognized certification programs and continuing education credits for both these programs as well as some state mandated CEUs for adjusters.
We welcome you to learn more about our organization and join the fight against insurance fraud.
