Protecting Your Rights and Reputation
The most common form of workers' compensation fraud is simply faking the injury or disability associated with the benefits claim. Other examples would be making a claim based on a non work-related injury or, on the employer side, failing to carry workers' compensation insurance.
In most workers' compensation fraud cases, penalties can be reduced to probationary levels. However, the ramifications of a fraud conviction go far beyond the possible criminal penalties. Fraud is viewed as a crime of dishonesty, so it can be particularly damaging on employment background checks.
Also, employers contribute money to the workers' compensation insurance system, so having a workers' compensation fraud conviction on your record could make it difficult to find gainful employment.
