How not to defraud Workers' Comp

Workers' comp fraud caught on tape

The glitched shimmer of a Fort Lauderdale office CCTV feed. A woman long of bone at the machine. A sprinkler head fell on her desk and she gaped up at the pebbledash expanse of the droptile ceiling. The metal thing just sat there on the melamine under the cold flourescent light. Then she took it up and bashed her head with it. I can’t tell you what she was thinking but I can tell you what come to pass.

Her employer’s insurance company got suspicious and brought in Florida’s Division of Investigative and Forensic Services.” At least that’s how Fox 13 out of Tampa put it. God might not see nor care but they had a camera upon her the whole while. They fired her and charged her with insurance fraud. The judge put her on 18 months’ probation.

They never gave her money so she don’t have to repay none.
