WORKERS’ COMP FRAUD

In a case that uncovered a pattern of fraudulent activity, Protegrity Services Inc.’s Special Investigation Unit recently proved in federal court that Selzee Southern Inc., a Daytona, Indiana underground cable installation company, underreported payroll, in turn underpaying workers’ comp premiums, for nearly nine years. While a judgment of $2.6 million was entered, a settlement of $1.5 million was reached.
