With technological advances over the past decade, insurers have made strides in implementing technology to pay claims for the good guys faster while deterring opportunistic fraud. Although fraud technology used at first notice of loss (FNOL) has made it increasingly difficult for individuals to commit insurance fraud, the industry has a long way to go.
