MD Man Caught Falsifying Disability Slips (TOWSON, MD)-Baltimore City resident Larry Anders, Sr. pleaded guilty to false claim against the Injured Workers' Insurance Fund after a company investigation revealed Anders had falsified disability slips and submitted them to IWIF in an attempt to obtain temporary total benefits during a period in which he was never treated by a medical professional. During the investigation, the claimant's wife called IWIF's Special Investigations Unit and admitted to the fraud investigator that her husband created the phony disability slips. IWIF charged Anders with forgery, false claim, and theft. In a plea agreement, Judge L. Yvonne Holt-Stone of Baltimore City District Court sentenced Anders to one year of supervised probation and ordered him to pay $600 in restitution to the Towson-based insurance company. Established in 1914, IWIF is the largest provider of workers' compensation
insurance in Maryland. |
