Staged Accident Organizer Arrested in Orlando

January 7, 2015

A 41-year old from Orlando, who was at the center of an alleged staged vehicle accident which occurred in 2013, was recently apprehended by the Florida Division of Insurance Fraud (DIF).

Jean Severe was arrested in November for organizing the fake crash.  According to DIF, participants were sent to Florida Chiro & Rehab Center for unnecessary medical treatment of their bogus injuries.  The scheme resulted in more than $6,000 in false claims filed with insurers Allstate and GEICO.
