Your employer's insurance carrier is accusing you of workers' comp fraud, claiming surveillance video shows you performing physical activities inconsistent with your reported back injury. You've just received a letter stating that your benefits are being terminated and that the matter has been referred to the New York Inspector General's office for criminal investigation.
Can I really face criminal charges just because an insurance company's surveillance video seems to contradict my injury claim?
Yes, workers' compensation fraud is a serious criminal offense in New York under Penal Law § 176.05 through § 176.30, with charges ranging from a Class A misdemeanor to a Class B felony depending on the dollar amount involved. However, insurance company surveillance is frequently misleading — a short video clip of someone bending over to pick up a newspaper does not disprove a legitimate spinal injury, and we regularly challenge this type of evidence in court. We would immediately retain medical experts to review your treatment records and counter the insurer's narrative, while also examining whether proper procedures under Workers' Compensation Law § 114-a were followed before your benefits were cut. The key right now is to avoid making any statements to investigators or the insurance carrier until we've built a comprehensive defense strategy around the specific facts of your case.
