Allstate Fights Auto Insurance Fraud in New Jersey Allstate Insurance Company filed civil actions today against 291 individuals accused of participating in fraudulent auto insurance schemes. These actions come almost three months after 749 individuals were accused by Allstate of taking part in what now appears to be the largest auto insurance fraud ring ever attacked by an insurance company.
