    Hummm…154 arrests and $16.6 million in recoveries… I guess they’re glad they weren’t writing in CO:

    Recent article:
    Colorado’s House Judiciary Committee approved H.B. 10-1012, that prohibits insurers or employers from conducting surveillance of workers comp claimants unless they have “a reasonable basis to suspect that the employee has committed fraud or made a material misstatement concerning the claim.”

    In one of the most abused sectors of insurance – thanks to the legislators to “protect” the public and damn the insurance carriers.

    Good for NYSIF – keep up the good work!

    That’s very nice, but not a lot of money over 15 years. And a drop in the bucket when compared to the Wall Street rip offs and large scale insurance frauds being perpetrated all the time. Just like the guy robbing a 7-11 and going to jail for years, while the child molester or murderer walks or gets probation.

    They launch millions of dollars in order to locate people committing fraud, meanwhile, those who really need medical attention, are unable to work due to injuries caused on the job, are unable to provide for their families due to lack of resources are caught up in this cat and mouse games between the insurance companies’ lawyers and their own personal lawyers, where they have to get by on a meager allotment issued by the insurance companies in order to survive. When they collect premiums, there are no problems, the minute someone gets hurt, there is a huge investigation that drags on for years where the injured party many times has to undergo surgery to prove their disability, so the insurance company can settle for less than they would have worked for during their time of loss. But hooray for the insurance company, keep up the good work, pray your employees don’t get injured themselves.

    I would like to catch an investigator in my neighborhood. I live in one of those real old school mafia community and I became hurt on the job many years ago and my case hasn’t been settled. I’m sure a few of my friends would love to see a strange car lurking around the neighborhood. They might mistake them for a sex offender or something worse, and hey, I hope he likes swimming. So think before you go trying to f-up someone’s life eh fellas, fuggeddaboudit.
