Workers' compensation benefits may be your only source of income as you recover from a debilitating work-related injury. Your career and the well-being of your family may depend on your benefits. However, if you are alleged to have deceived your employer or submitted a fraudulent workers' compensation insurance claim, the allegation can result in chaos. The insurance company and its lawyers may immediately cut off your benefits and begin to pursue both civil remedies and criminal charges against you. When this happens, you need to take immediate action and contact Mr. Clay.
Ward Stafford Clay, Attorney at Law, will help you prepare an aggressive defense strategy and build a solid defense. Mr. Clay represents both employees and employers in separate cases.
- As an injured employee, medical experts need to be consulted to demonstrate that you are, in fact, injured, and that your injury is work related. Some injuries are not diagnosed properly such as a muscle tear, soft tissue injury or herniated disc, but they can still significantly impair your ability to perform your job. Employers and their insurance companies constantly accuse injured employees of faking injuries or falsely claiming they occurred during the course and scope of work.
- California employers are usually insured by the State Compensation Insurance Fund, and they are often subject to accusations that they failed to pay the required premiums to maintain workers' compensation insurance. In the event you or your business is investigated for or charged with workers' compensation insurance fraud, you need to take immediate legal action to protect your rights.
