Abstract

Prijevare i zlouporabe osiguranja postoje otkad postoje i sama osiguravajuća društva, ali svoj vrhunac dostižu u vrijeme ekspanzije osigurateljne djelatnosti. Veliki financijski gubitci i ostale negativne posljedice koje navedene pojave za sobom nose, potaknuli su osiguravajuća društva da porade na strategiji prepoznavanja i suzbijanja prijevara. U radu su prije svega izneseni oblici u kojima se prijevare i zlouporabe osiguranja pojavljuju, a također su objašnjeni i uzroci koji do njih dovode. Objašnjeni su obveznopravni i kaznenopravni apsketi navedenih pojava te u kontekstu istih predstavljene neke od najzanimljivijih presuda Općinskih sudova. Posebna pažnja posvećena je prijevarama i zlouporabama po policama auto osiguranja, budući da je riječ o vrsti osiguranja koja je najrasprostranjenija pa samim time i najpodložnija prijevarama. U tom kontekstu dodatno je objašnjeno fingiranje prometnih nesreća kao jedan od najčešćih oblika u kojemu se pojavljuju prijevare auto osiguranja. Kako bi se problem dodatno razradio, u radu je predstavljen statistički prikaz broja počinjenih kaznenih djela zlouporabe osiguranja te njihovih počinitelja u periodu od 2015. do 2020. godine. U zaključnim razmatranjima predloženi su neki od načina borbe protiv ovog stalno rastućeg fenomena.
