Insurance Fraud or Disputes

T. Christian Miller of ProPublica.org reports here that DOD-OIG may audit AIG and other carriers over their handling of claims for civilian contractors injured in Iraq and Afghanistan. The possible audit comes in the wake of a joint investigative report of wartime claims handling by ProPublica, the Los Angeles Times, and ABC News, and a request by Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. The original ProPublica story by Miller and the L.A. Times’ Doug Smith can be found here. According to the piece, many former contractors battling serious wartime injuries have to fight for years to obtain their benefits.
