Fraudulent Injury Claims

Protecting Employers from Costly Workers’ Comp Fraud

Workers’ compensation fraud imposes significant financial and operational burdens on businesses, insurers, and self-insured entities. At Robinson & Lawing, LLP, we provide experienced and strategic defense against fraudulent workers’ compensation claims, helping clients identify suspicious activity, investigate allegations, and pursue dismissal or denial of improper claims. With decades of trial experience and a reputation for courtroom effectiveness, our attorneys stand ready to defend your business interests.

Identifying and Challenging Fraudulent Claims

Fraudulent claims often involve exaggerated injuries, staged incidents, or misrepresentations about work status and medical restrictions. Our team works closely with claims adjusters, employers, and investigators to build strong factual and legal defenses. We routinely handle cases involving:

• Inconsistencies in injury reports and witness statements
• Video surveillance or social media contradicting injury claims
• Claims filed after disciplinary action or termination
• Ghost employees or misrepresented employment status
• Pre-existing medical conditions misattributed to workplace injuries

We analyze medical records, employment histories, and witness testimony to uncover red flags and prepare compelling defenses for hearings and appeals.
