FAQs

Why do I need to investigate a workers' compensation claim?

In probing a claim, possible fraud, such as a fake injury complainant, secretive side jobs, or any other activity that contradicts what the complainant submitted to you, will come out. In this way, your business avoids paying disproportionate settlements or raising its insurance premiums.

What happens when discovering fraud after an investigation?

In the case of fraud, this information can be used to deny the claim. It can be used in court to defend the company against a fraudulent claim brought against workers' compensation. Fraudulent claims against workers' compensation can put the claimant in jeopardy of large financial losses. In some cases, it can even result in criminal charges.

How long does an investigation into a workers' compensation claim take?

Simpler cases may take weeks, while other complex claims, especially those that have a fraud component, might take longer.
