From the Paper:

"A newly formed insurance advocate coalition studies 41 states in the nation for insurance fraud statistics. The statistics are alarming. Insurance fraud is currently costing Americans $80 billion a year. This works out to about $1,000 a family per year(Daily, 1998). One of the obstacles in the insurance fraud investigation efforts is the cost of the investigation. It is estimated that many fraud offices are lacking funds and personnel to effectively make a difference."
