Did you miss our webinar on the misrepresentation defense in workers’ compensation?
We broke down what claims professionals need to know when evaluating and asserting this defense in Florida. Here are some of the main takeaways:
- Start with 440.09 & 440.105 — everything builds from there.
- You need evidence of knowing or intentional fraud—not just inconsistency.
- Surveillance? Helpful, but not enough alone. You need oral/written contradictions tied to material facts.
- Leverage provider conferences, background checks, and deposition testimony.
- Use social media and medical records to spot red flags
Successfully asserting the misrepresentation defense requires thorough investigation and a strategic approach.
