Aren most cases of employees on extended workers compensation legitimate?
Experience teaches more cases than not are varying degrees of abuse and some downright fraud. A smaller percentage of extended duration cases are legitimate. Each case must be thoroughly analyzed, and investigated as appropriate, to determine validity. Employers, insurers, and investigators normally “rule out fraud and abuse” just as a physician rules out a dreaded disease.
