With the job market continuing to struggle, an influx in workers’ comp cases is not helping the matter. An increasingly high amount of employees are taking advantage of their employers and insurance companies. Injured workers are frequently cheating the system by exaggerating injuries and collecting money from workers’ comp suits.
While employees may have legitimate claims, many are slow to get back to work because there are limited job options and staying at home is just, well…easier. Other employees are working under the table at other jobs while they collect money from the insurance companies. Not only is this highly illegal, but it’s extremely damaging to the job market.
