Because of the down economy, workers compensation agencies are seeing a simultaneous rise in the amount of cases being reported, and a decrease in their budgetary allotments to investigate fraud. While hard numbers are difficult to come by when looking at cases of fraud, it is believed that more and more companies and individuals are filing fraudulent workers compensation claims.

However, as this fraud is being committed, investigators are seeing their budgets cut, and the general trend towards more fraud prosecution seems to be flattening out.
