Be aware of workers comp fraud indicators when a claim is made. Finally, pay attention to employee complaints and concerns about their working conditions. The strongest predictor of fraud is a chronically disgruntled work force. Often a fake injury is discovered through workplace rumors that filter up to management, or by a visiting insurance agent who alerts the company. Twenty percent of respondents in the same survey said they were aware of a workers fraud scheme at their workplace.
Employers can help to protect themselves against fraud, too.
