Is workers’ compensation fraud a crime?
Fraud of all kinds, including workers’ compensation fraud, is a Class E felony and is punishable by fines and/or jail time. If you have reason to believe that your claimant is malingering or lying about a workplace-related injury, do your due diligence. Private investigative companies like Alliance Risk Group are highly trained when it comes to assessing the activity level of a claimant and assembling the case you need to pursue a fraud finding with the Workers’ Compensation Board.
