People who choose to own their own businesses are ready to fight for what they have. They are deeply committed to their business and willing to do all they can to afford excess fees like employees trying to pull a fast one over them.

Detecting Fraud

California requires all business owners to have workers’ compensation insurance. The requirement is to protect employees against employers who cut corners resulting in injury to employees. As a business owner, it is hard to balance a safe work environment and insurance, but we see that you do it. We saw that you are doing it all, yet there are people who will still take advantage of all that you do. Business owners provide services or products. There is a cost analysis for every business. As a business owner, you aren’t asking for much. All anyone wants is honest and hardworking employees. Unfortunately, that isn’t’ always the case.

In 1991, the California legislature’s made worker’s compensation fraud a federal offense. Yet, so many still take the chance. It isn’t just employees, either. Professionals like lawyers and doctors will add to the fraudulent cases by exaggerating cases and make it harder for the truth to be told resulting in employers paying more out of pocket for injuries that have little connection to his or her job. In the 2015-2016 fiscal year, California Fraud Division found 5, 380 alleged fraud cases. The potential loss was $193, 354, 616. As you can see Worker’s Compensation fraud is a billion-dollar business off the backs of hard business owners.
