Worker Comp Fraud: Don’t Get Caught in Your Own Web

The state of Florida takes allegations of workers compensation fraud very seriously. Such cases are rigorously investigated and prosecuted. Even if you are completely innocent, you should handle any allegations of fraud with extreme care. The most effective way to do so is by retaining an experienced and competent attorney. Hundreds of people are arrested for allegations of workers compensation fraud each year in Florida. The right defense can make all of the difference in the world.

Never discuss workers compensation fraud allegations with law enforcement

One of the biggest mistakes you can make when it comes to workers compensation fraud allegations is to speak with law enforcement. Until you have an experienced lawyer by your side, you should not discuss such allegations with law enforcement officials. The same story is played out in Boca Raton, Orlando and other parts of Florida every year: People speak to law enforcement without the help of attorneys and inadvertently get mired in even more involved legal problems.

Never exaggerate or make false statements

If you are involved in a workers compensation case in Florida, you should take care to never make false or exaggerated claims. If you do, there’s a very good chance that your false or exaggerated statements will come to light. It is not unusual at all for attorneys who are defending workers compensation claims to hire private investigators. Those PIs typically follow and videotape individuals who have made statements in Worker compensation cases.

Protect your rights

The Florida Division of Insurance Fraud vigorously investigates claims of workers compensation fraud. Such allegations are no laughing matter. To ensure that your rights are protected at all times, you should retain the services of a skilled and experienced attorney. Until you do, you should not speak to any law enforcement officials regarding your case.
