Florida Employer charged with First Degree Felony for Workers' Compensation Fraud

Employers in Florida--it is not a good idea to try to save a few bucks on your workers' compensation premiums by fudging the numbers.  Mauricio Soto faces up to 30 years in prison and a $10,000 fine for trying to save money on his workers' compensation insurance premiums by underreporting the number of people he employed.  Our penalties in Missouri aren't quite so harsh---the crime of workers' compensation fraud is a Class D felony, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years.  However, the potential punishment is still harsh enough to make both employers and employees alike think twice before committing workers' compensation fraud here in Missouri.
