In our newest video blog series, “Insights from the Top: 3 Questions with PLM Leaders” we interview Erin Selfe and discuss the importance of information technology and cybersecurity.
Risk Alert: Bicycle Scams
There may be times where people may file false claims against you, alleging that you caused them harm or damage. In more serious cases, someone may stage accidents and injuries to file a false claim. Some criminals will even intentionally cause auto accidents, making it look like innocent drivers were at fault. Unfortunately, we have seen an uptick in false claims, especially revolving around cyclists and our insured drivers.
These scammers will either stage an injury in front of a vehicle or purposedly drive into the vehicle and claim that they were struck. They often have accomplices nearby to act as witnesses against the driver to claim they were at fault.
It’s important to gather information and evidence that proves the incident did not occur or that details have been fabricated. If you or one of your drivers were involved in an accident, you should:
- Take detailed photos of the scene
- Obtain footage from cameras in the area or your own dash cam
- Gather contact information and statements from any witnesses
Every time you have to answer to false claims against your fleet drivers, you lose money.
Fleet managers across our industry can relate to the struggle. False claims against fleets can cost thousands, or even millions of dollars. Therefore, working with providers who prioritize fleet safety will protect your fleet operations. PLM is pleased to offer our customers telematics monitoring through Azuga and GPS Insight, industry leaders in driver risk management. With systems like these in place you have access to real-time data and video footage with GPS tracking solutions and dash cam systems.
