What is workers' compensation fraud?

Posted on Friday, April 30th, 2010 at 12:48 pm    

Workers’ compensation fraud includes many different types of frauds including billing frauds and false report frauds. Basically, it involves any act where an employer or employee misrepresents facts in order to receive workers’ compensation benefits.

For instance, an employer may need to cover medical expenses for an injury not related to workplace activities. That employer may write up a false claim and get approval from a doctor to receive these benefits.

If you have questions about a workers’ compensation case, contact the New Jersey workers’ compensation attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 800-346-5529.
