Kansas Insurance Commissioner Vicki Schmidt announced a Sedgwick County woman has been sentenced to 24 months of probation for insurance fraud.
Julie LaChance, aged 38, pleaded guilty on August 20, 2026, in Sedgwick County District Court to one felony count of insurance fraud. LaChance reinstated her lapsed insurance policy following an accident and, at that time, knowingly and falsely signed a “Statement of No Loss” which stated that no one on the policy had been involved in any motor vehicle accident and no vehicle on the policy had been involved in any motor vehicle accident.
She was sentenced on October 15, 2026, to 12 months in prison suspended to 24 months of probation and is required to pay a fine of $500.
This case was investigated by the Kansas Department of Insurance and prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Olivia Higdon, Kansas Attorney General’s Office.
