abstract="Among the high number of cases of hand injuries investigated each year by accident insurance companies, cases continually occur which give rise to the suspicion of attempted insurance fraud by means of purposely inflicted injuries. Such cases are often difficult to prove. Based on 3 case reports (amputation by means of a chain saw, a blow with an axe and a cutting machine), reconstruction at the place of the crime is shown to be extremely advantageous. The reconstruction of the crime is one of the most important evidential elements. It is recommended for all cases where there is any doubt.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>",
