The May 1, 2021 issue of Zalma\'s Insurance Fraud Letter includes the  following articles and a video reporting on the key article about the  Examination Under Oath at  The Examination Under Oath is an Important Tool for Every Fraud  Investigation The EUO Is a Serious and Important Part of the Insurer\\u2019s Investigation  The attorney, insurance claims professional or investigator who conducts  the EUO can take a role similar to the role of a prosecutor without the  usual constitutional restraints controlling testimony at a deposition  or trial. [Hickman v. London Assurance Corporation, 184 Cal. 524, 195 P.  45 (1920)] A false statement as to any material fact during the EUO can  cause the policy to be declared void, even if the fact has no  relationship to the loss.  In Claflin the false testimony concerned a witness that would not affect  the amount payable under the policy but to protect his reputation for  veracity. The U. S. Supreme Court found that the witness of the injury  was material to the investigation and declared the policy void for fraud  because he made false statements under oath.  Contrary to the Belief of Lawyers for the Insured, the EUO Is Not an  Adversary Proceeding like a Deposition in a Lawsuit.  Insurance Benefits Not Available to Remodel Fixer Upper Good News From the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud Probation for Insurance Fraud Proves Futile Health Insurance Fraud Convictions When You Do the Crime & Only Get Probation it is not Wise to Commit a  New Crime Other Insurance Fraud Convictions OIG\\u2019s Most Wanted Fugitives When Granted Non-Custodial Probation it is Insulting to Appeal the  Conviction New Books for the Insurance Claims Professionals   \\xa9 2021 \\u2013 Barry Zalma  Barry Zalma, Esq., CFE, now limits his practice to service as an  insurance consultant specializing in insurance coverage, insurance  claims handling, insurance bad faith and insurance fraud almost  equally for insurers and policyholders.
