Preventing Fraudulent Workers’ Compensation Claims

As the economy weakens, companies face a greater risk in fraud and abuse impacting workers’ compensation, general liability and product liability insurance premiums over time.  In turn, a rise is seen in:
1. Reporting fraudulent injuries
2. Reporting an aggravation of an existing claim
3. Reporting occupational health illness
4. Reporting workplace violence
5. Theft of company property
6. Product tampering

Employers must become pro-active by implementing and managing defensive strategies to reduce and/or eliminate fraudulent behavior.
