Trucking Company President Charged with Violating Workers Compensation Law (he should have hired SELIG & Associates)

The investigation was a joint effort conducted by NYSIF’s Division of Confidential Investigations, the Department of Financial Services and the Queens County District Attorney’s Office.

Authorities arrested the owner of a Queens trucking company and one of his workers for falsifying documents that led to more than $216,000 in alleged workers’ compensation fraud against the New York State Insurance Fund. The Queens District Attorney’s Office arrested the president of a Trucking Company and charged him with fraudulent practices in violation of the Workers’ Compensation Law and offering a false instrument for filing, both felonies. Investigators said the Queens resident allegedly underreported payroll for his trucking company from July 2012 through July 2015 to avoid paying the correct insurance premium to NYSIF.  The Trucking Company owner allegedly claimed he worked alone in his business and had no employees. The investigation revealed the Trucking Company owner employed several trucks and drivers, whom he paid in cash, expenses allegedly listed in accounting ledgers as fuel costs for his business. As a result, he allegedly underpaid NYSIF by more than $158,000 in insurance premiums.
