Q: I’ve been summoned to court for false insurance claim and attempt to commit a crime.
I was never paid money for this claim and it was closed in 2020. Is there a way to get out of going to court
A: A Massachusetts attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Insurance fraud does not require the underlying acts culminating in payment; it could be based on the representations made in filing the claim. This is something on which a Massachusetts criminal defense attorney should advise. Please consider reaching out to an attorney - this is something that should be discussed with your attorney rather than on a public forum. Good luck
