Blackman Detective Services got to share a big win of really helping out a client in need in a situation where things could have gone bad very quickly.
Many businesses, although they might not understand it fully, is in the peace of mind business. Private investigators and employee benefits share this business.
We talk about the issues surrounding workman compensation fraud that affects both employees and small businesses. The most common types of workman's comp fraud are:
- Injuries that didn't occur at work
- False injury claims
- Exaggerated injury claims
- Old injury claims
- Malingering
Chris shares stories from his experiences selling insurance of employers who could really have benefited from coverage and some funny stories of some absurd situations that they've run into.
The average workman compensation payout is $40,000. So it is imperative to take care of your employees, and many small business owners would not be able to survive the average worker's comp payout.
We shared the "Peanut payday" story from Blackman's newsletter about Mr. Brown slip and fall injury that he claimed prevented him from lifting. The employer called Blackman to investigate.
