Are You a Victim of Workers’ Comp Fraud?

When people hear the words “workers’ compensation fraud,” most will instantly think of a worker faking an injury or otherwise defrauding his or her company. However, employers and insurance companies are not the only victims of workers’ compensation fraud. Employees who have been genuinely injured and need assistance can also be harmed by fraudulent and illegal tactics.

If you suspect that you have been the victim of a fraudulent employer or workers’ compensation insurance company, you need to take steps to protect your legal rights. The New Jersey workers’ compensation insurance fraud lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. will work diligently to build your case and fight for the compensation you need. Call us today at 800-346-5529.

Fraud Committed by Employers

Employers will sometimes try to defraud their workers or insurance providers by committing illegal acts such as:

  • Downplaying their number of employees to reduce their insurance premiums
  • Falsely naming employees as independent contractors so they will not be covered
  • Neglecting to report workplace injuries or even carry workers’ comp insurance

If your employer has committed crimes like these, you may be unable to receive the medical care you need after a workplace injury. Our New Jersey employer workers’ compensation fraud attorneys aggressively pursue justice against fraudulent employers.

Fraud Committed by Insurance Providers

A workers’ compensation insurance company can defraud its clients and their employees through actions such as:

  • Unfairly denying claims or unreasonably delaying claim processing
  • Operating a fictitious company to take premiums without providing services
  • Encouraging insurance agents and company doctors to downplay injuries and benefits

It can be difficult to know whether your insurance provider is committing fraud, and even more difficult to collect the evidence you need. Our experienced attorneys are prepared to build a persuasive case and aggressively protect you in court.
