Claimant Fraud in Workers' Comp System

In litigation, the parties have a right to expect that all statements are truthful, responsive, and complete.

To attempt to remedy this practice, the Florida legislature enacted statutes to support the “fraud defense.” Read more on how to successfully assert this defense in the article by Terry Ford on “Claimant Fraud in the Workers’ Compensation System.” Contact Mr. Ford for more information.
