Protecting Your Business from Fraudulent Claims

Workers’ compensation programs are essential; they can help foster a positive working environment and give you a way to care for any employees who get hurt while doing their jobs. State laws require most businesses to provide workers’ compensation coverage, which can streamline the aftermath of a job-related injury, compensating employees fairly and eliminating the time and expense of a lawsuit.

While providing compensation for your employees who get hurt on the job is an important part of your duty as an employer, this system can also be subject to fraud:

Accepting a claim from one of your employees that you later learned was fraudulent can take a severe toll on your company beyond the initial financial cost. You may open your business up to more untruthful claims, and your workers’ comp insurance premiums may rise.

Fraudulent workers’ compensation claims can also harm the morale of your entire workforce. A high number of claims (even false ones) can make your employees feel unsafe at work and/or reduce their compliance with workplace safety protocols

Avoiding the Risks of In-House Investigations

If you suspect that you are facing workers’ compensation fraud, it’s essential to investigate. However, there are several risks of launching an in-house investigation of the claim or the employee:
The best option is to hire an experienced private investigator who already has the knowledge, tools, and experience to perform legal and effective workers’ compensation investigations. Hiring a professional is generally the most cost- and time-efficient option.
