Along with Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Chief of Detectives Stuart A. Buckman, Soriano said that in April, the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Insurance Fraud Unit received a referral from New Jersey Manufacturer’s Insurance Company, which indicated that one of its insureds by the name of Maria Demeter recently had disclosed that she made material misrepresentation in obtaining her motor vehicle insurance policies since 1999. Specifically, Demeter had obtained two motor vehicle policies as a single woman living in a household with no other registered drivers. However, this was false as she was married and living with her husband, a registered New Jersey driver.
The investigation revealed that due to Demeter’s misrepresentations, she obtained an insurance policy with NJM that she would have in fact not been eligible for due to her spouses’ driving record, Soriano said. Demeter also obtained a monetary benefit by paying substantially lower insurance rates than she would have paid had she provided true information to NJM.
Demeter was served with a summons Monday by detectives from the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Insurance Fraud Unit and released on her own recognizance, Soriano said.
