Secured a trial victory on behalf of a firm client and it’s insured in a case alleging severe injuries from a fall. Through investigation, we found that the claimant was working “under the table” for another construction company which raised Section 114(a) fraud. After the claimant’s testimony, the Judge ruled that, without the need to view the surveillance footage, the claimant conceded to violating Section 114(a)(1) for a material misrepresentation to receive workers’ compensation benefits. The claimant was given a permanent bar on receiving indemnity benefits and the matter was marked No Further Action, resulting is a major win for our client.
