Fidelity Bond/Crime Coverage Claims

When employee defalcation is suspected or discovered, insurance settlements from fidelity bonds or crime coverage can not only reimburse the employer for a major portion of the financial loss, but also provide essential evidence required for civil litigation or criminal prosecution.

Most white collar crimes are complex, and unlike other forms of insurance. the burden of proof is squarely upon the policyholder, who also bears the burden of investigation, audit and accounting, as well as submission of conclusive documentation and evidence to the insurer in the form of formal Proof of Loss.
