Texas Mutual Insurance Company reported that a Travis County district court has sentenced Christopher Colligan of Baytown on workers’ compensation fraud charges.
The company said Colligan reported a job-related injury while working as a driver for Macro Oil Company Inc. and claimed he was unable to work because of the injury.
Texas Mutual began paying income benefits to him, but it was then discovered that he was working as a truck driver for another company.
The Texas Department of Insurance Division of Workers’ Compensation prosecutor in Travis County presented the case for indictment. The court sentenced Colligan to a Class A misdemeanor with one-year deferred adjudication. He will pay $9,835 in restitution to Texas Mutual.
