It’s about time!! I hear from my clients time and time again that the claims that are filed are “Fraud”, so very little are true injuries. This happens because we don’t prosecute the guilty and when a true claim comes across the injured party becomes frustrated with the system that they end up getting lost in the shuffle! I hope they prosecute ALL the guilty and send a message.
What falls between the cracks is not just the fraudulent claims by the injured workers but the Fraud by the carriers and attorney deceit. I will go after any attorney or carrier and see that the full extent of the law places then behind bars and they loose their right to ever appear in court again.
There is historical precedence for attorney deceit….. from the 13th century.
As a foundation, the First Statute of Westminster in 1275, Chapter 29 stated;
“It is provided also, that if any serjeant, pleader, or other, do any manner of deceit or collusion in the king’s court, or consent unto it, in deceit of the court, or to beguile the court, or the party, and thereof be attainted, he shall be imprisoned for a year and a day, and from thenceforth shall not be heard to plead in that court for any man; and if he be no pleader, he shall be imprisoned in like manner by the space of a year and a Day at least; and if the trespass require greater punishment, it shall be at the king’s pleasure.”
My workers compensation award was obtained by fraud. Both the Appeals Board and my then lawyer by use of fraud defrauded Complainant. In fact, they conspired to issue a fraudulent award against Complainant.
By the first award, Complainant was awarded attorney fees. By the second award, money is being and has been deducted from Complainant award since 1990. Thus, we have an ugly and confused situation. Pls advise.
I wrote the above several years ago. Why would you encourage injured workers to discuss injustices done to them on the one hand while doing nothing about it on the other?
