Have You Been Charged With Workers’ Compensation Fraud?
You may have been charged with workers’ compensation fraud under circumstances such as the following:
- You received temporary disability benefits because you were too injured or ill to work — yet you went on a physically demanding vacation, leading your employer or its workers’ comp insurer to suspect that you were much better than you had let on.
- You received lost-time workers’ compensation benefits or unemployment insurance benefits while secretly working under the table — or not reporting all income.
- You manipulated input that your physician obtained from you before determining that your injury required you to take time off work or accept a less demanding role on the job.
- As a financial officer for your employer, you siphoned off money for yourself from funds intended to pay workers’ compensation premiums on behalf of employees.
