Crash Investigation Unit
The Crash Investigation Division at the Bucks County DA’s Office is comprised of trained attorneys and investigators who seek to establish the causes of serious motor vehicle crashes occurring in Bucks County, and hold offenders accountable if their contribution to the crash is determined to be criminal in nature. The Crash Investigation Unit is headed up by Deputy DA Christine Sassane and handles investigations where serious injury, significant damage to property or loss of life has occurred.
Insurance Fraud
In 2015, the Office of the Bucks County District Attorney received its first dedicated funding for an Insurance Fraud Division, with one dedicated prosecutor and one detective. The Insurance Fraud Unit is funded entirely by the Pennsylvania Insurance Fraud Prevention Authority.
The unit conducts both proactive and reactive investigations, working closely with insurance company investigators and the Pennsylvania State Insurance Commission investigating Homeowners, Auto, Medical, and Workers Compensation Insurance Fraud, along with the investigation of Insurance Fraud associated with illegal drug activity.
Mission:
To protect the public from economic loss by actively investigating and arresting those who commit insurance fraud and to reduce the overall incidence of insurance fraud through anti-fraud outreach to the public, private and governmental sectors.
