Worker’s Compensation fraud is a growing problem throughout the United States. Designed to provide protection and absorb financial liability in the event an employee is injured on the job, Worker’s Compensation Insurance provides a valuable and required service for employers and employees alike.
Otherwise honest employees often get caught up in a tangled web when they realize that the system can be manipulated in their favor regarding injury claims. Even in events where a true injury has occurred, employees often exaggerate or falsify the severity of their injury in order to gain additional paid time away from work.
