A staged car crash is one that is purposely engineered to happen and involves one or more parties. The objective is to make it look like the target caused the accident, allowing the criminal to collect from the victim’s insurance company.
After a car crash, victims may often be too traumatized to notice if something seems out of the ordinary or not quite right. Staged car crashes take advantage of others, preying on the vulnerable, including those who may be in shock after an accident happens.
