CLF caters to insurance companies in the highly specialized area of workers\u2019 compensation premium fraud. We work closely with special investigation units (SIU\u2019s) of national and regional insurance carriers. CLF has uncovered tens of millions of dollars of unpaid insurance premiums and has successfully prosecuted workers\u2019 compensation fraud cases in federal and state courts around the country. Workers\u2019 compensation fraud is a niche area of law, and CLF attorneys travel nationally to protect their clients\u2019 interests. To combat fraud, experienced attorneys must have contacts and relationships with state fraud investigators and law enforcement agencies and be willing to cooperate where necessary to eradicate fraudulent practices. \n

CLF has comprehensive experience investigating, identifying, and recovering unpaid and unidentified premiums. We can secure vital documentation to support estimated and actual audits that result in our clients determining the true extent of their insured risks. Workers\u2019 compensation premium fraud schemes often involve an array of actors, including business owners, contractors, subcontractors, insurance agents, bookkeepers, and tax preparers. CLF ferrets out the fraud, identifies the bad actors and helps our clients obtain the data necessary to support calculation of actual and estimated risks. \n

When insureds are caught in the fraud scheme, they sometimes resort to the Bankruptcy courts for protection from the premium debt. CLF has experience in successfully combatting bankruptcy protection by filing adversary proceedings and relying on specific Bankruptcy Codes prohibiting some debtors from discharging a debt. \n
