Worker’s Compensation Fraud

workers_comp_fraud2One of the most frequent crimes that plague the United States involved with elicit fraud  –  is worker’s compensation deception.  This type of deception has cost the American people over $5 million dollars a year.  Workers’ Compensation Fraud occurs when someone knowingly makes a false representation of a material fact to obtain or to deny workers’ compensation benefits or to avoid responsibility under the law.

  • Filing a claim for an injury that did not occur on or has no relation to the job
  • Knowingly misrepresenting his / her physical condition to obtain benefits
  • Misrepresenting previous trauma or treatment
