We can only fight workers’ compensation insurance fraud with your help!

There are several types of insurance fraud:

Employee/ Claimant Fraud: where a person files for a claim or an injury that was not work-related or that never occurred.

Billing/Provider Fraud: where a provider bills for services never rendered or for more time/services than actually provided.

Premium/Insured Fraud: committed by underreporting payroll or misclassifying payroll/job classifications.
