Research by a top insurance company has found that women are more likely to tell the truth when making an insurance claim. The results show that men are twice as likely as women to lie when it comes to claiming.

Given the scenario that their car had been stolen and that they had forgotten to lock the car, only 18% of all the people asked as part of the survey said that they would actually be honest about the details. 41% of people asked said they would own up to their mistake if they were asked and 26% of people said they would tell a lie until the pressure got too great. Finally, 8% of people said that they would not diverge the truth – 7% of people said they were unsure what they would do in that situation

It is important to mention that if you lie about an insurance claim, you can be prosecuted for insurance fraud.
