Los Angeles, California Workers’ Compensation Fraud


Here’s What You Need to Know

Workers’ compensation insurance in California is designed to help provide for employees that are injured on the job, helping pay for their medical benefits and cover their lost wages while they are unable to work. In exchange for receiving these benefits, the employee gives up their rights to sue the employer, which creates a “no-fault” system.

However, because of a few bad apples that commit fraud, insurance companies are skeptical of all workers’ compensation claims, which makes it more time consuming and challenging to obtain these benefits. This is why it’s necessary to consult the Jin Law Firm P.C. if you were injured on the job and need to file a workers’ compensation claim.

Types of Workers’ Compensation Fraud


Insurance Carrier or Employer Fraud

Misrepresenting a worker’s illness or injuries to discourage them from filing a workers’ compensation claim or attempting to get their valid claim denied is fraudulent.

Premium Fraud

Some employers are guilty of misrepresenting the number of employees they employ or the type of work the employees do to decrease their workers’ compensation premiums. For example, some employers may attempt to represent that their employees are independent contractors when this is a misclassification.

Uninsured Employers

California requires employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. If an employer breaks the law and doesn’t carry insurance, they are leaving themselves and their employees dangerously exposed.

Healthcare Overbilling

Injured workers need medical assistance and care, and unfortunately, some providers may see this an opportunity to overbill for their services or even issue charges for services that were never rendered.
