WORKERS’ COMPENSATION FRAUD

Workers’ compensation fraud contributes significantly to the cost of doing business and negatively impacts employers, insurance carriers and third-party administrators. From a workers’ compensation perspective, we assist with strategies for obtaining documentation and information needed to pursue a fraud claim. In addition, we work very closely with our clients in furtherance of that philosophy through relentless investigation, aggressive defense, and prosecution in response to false and inflated insurance claims. We can facilitate the filing of a fraud claim through local government agencies and review all cases for civil remedies to help our clients recoup some of the monies expended due to fraudulent cases. Our trial attorneys are experienced in the investigation, defense and affirmative prosecution of fraudulent claims. We routinely file suits and collect judgments against perpetrators of fraud including both first- and third- party actors. Likewise, our team has extensive training and experience in medical provider investigations and fraudulent scams meant to drive and inflate the overall value of a claim. Our medical fraud taskforce files affirmatively across the nation to recoup monies fraudulently paid out to providers that failed to provide the requisite medical care they billed on a matter. We have been successful nationally creating claim protocol designed to reduce the amount of medical payout on claims associated with fraudulent medical practices. The taskforce routinely works with local, state, and federal authorities to ensure that monies stolen from our clients are returned and fraudsters prosecuted timely.
