CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) - The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division has charged a Charleston County woman accused of submitting a false insurance claim for her car.
Kaitlyn Simone White, 24, is charged with presenting a false claim for insurance payment of an amount between $2,000 and $10,000, SLED spokesperson Renée Wunderlich said.
An affidavit accuses White of knowingly submitting a false claim for insurance on March 25, 2024. She purchased her insurance policy on March 9 of that year with no prior insurance having been in place, investigators say.
She claimed her vehicle was heavily damaged while driving from work through a flooded road on March 22, 2024, but while historical weather data recorded significant rain with known flooding impacts on March 9, there was no record of such weather on March 22, court documents state.
Electrionic records, license plate reader data, timesheet records from her employer and a review of her insurance company’s mobile app data from the date and time she claimed the damage happened contradicted her story, indicating she was not present at the location where she claimed the loss happened, the documents state.
She is accused of trying to gain “an undeserved economic advantage” by filing an insurance claim for damages valued at $7,642.67, the documents state.
