Salt Lake City White Collar Crimes Lawyer
Have You Been Charged With Workers' Compensation Fraud?
You may have been charged with workers' compensation fraud under circumstances such as the following:
- You received temporary disability benefits because you were too injured or ill to work — yet you went on a physically demanding vacation, leading your employer or their workers' comp insurer to suspect that you were much better than you had let on.
- You received lost-time workers' compensation benefits or unemployment insurance benefits while secretly working under the table — or not reporting all income.
- You manipulated input that your physician obtained from you before determining that your injury required you to take time off work or accept a less demanding role on the job.
- As a financial officer for your employer, you siphoned off money for yourself from funds intended to pay workers' compensation premiums on behalf of employees.
Whatever the allegations and whatever you know happened, your legal position is in peril if you have been charged with any type of fraud such as workers' compensation fraud. Even if you believe there has simply been a misunderstanding, if you are convicted, the results may be similar to those of anyone convicted of a serious crime:
- Jail time
- Fines and penalties
- A requirement of restitution to the workers' compensation insurer or to your employer
- A criminal record
- All the complications that a criminal record can cause to a person, such as career troubles
