A trucking company based in Colonie, NY has been ordered by the state to pay $315,600 to the New York insurance fund after it was discovered that the company was underreporting payroll in order to avoid paying for workers’ compensation. If you or someone you love has been injured on the job and isn’t getting the money you need, the New Jersey workers’ compensation attorneys of Levinson & Axelrod may be able to get you the money you need.

According to the state’s Insurance Department, Eagle River, Inc, had already paid $150,000 of the debt.

An audit by state investigators showed the discrepancy, which the company had been exploiting in order to pay lower insurance premiums.
