Brooklyn Workers' Compensation Benefits Fraud Attorneys
Occasionally, people getting workers' compensation benefits will find their benefits suddenly cut off because of allegations of fraud. More often than not, these alleged acts of fraud are actually simply misunderstandings or minor mistakes. At the Robert A. Koenigsberg Law Offices, we have 20 years of experience focused exclusively on workers' comp law. We understand how to deal with fraud allegations and get you back on track with the workers' compensation benefits you need.
Fraud Allegations and Pre-existing Conditions
Many fraud allegations are the result of a pre-existing condition that was not disclosed at the time of the work injury. For example, a person may have hurt his back on the job. When filling out all of the paperwork and talking to his doctor, he may neglect to mention that he suffered a different back injury eight years before. Perhaps he simply thought this information was not relevant. Perhaps he worried the pre-existing condition would impact his ability to get benefits. Regardless of the reason, there was no intent to commit fraud. The workers' compensation insurance company may see things differently. Our lawyers know how to handle these issues.
What They Consider Fraud May Not Be Fraud at All
Once in a while, we will see a case in which an overzealous workers' compensation insurance company has a videotape of a workplace injury victim walking her dog or something along those lines, claiming it is evidence of fraud. Of course, an injury that prevents a person from working may not prevent her from walking her dog. We will combat unfair fraud allegations.
