Three people will be sentenced after pleading guilty in two separate workers compensation fraud cases, the Santa Clara District Attorney's Office announced Monday. Both cases involve business owners failing to properly maintain mandatory workers compensation insurance, which covers business should employees suffer an on-the-job injury.
'People who illegally avoid paying proper premiums are cheating the insurance companies, their workers, and every business that plays by the rules.' For nearly seven years, Ramos, 50, ran an insurance fraud scheme in which he severely underreported his payroll to insurance carriers, according to the district attorney's office.
