California Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner has recently announced the conviction of Manuel Carreon on workers' compensation fraud charges.
An investigation by the California Department of Insurance reports that in February, Carreon was arrested for workers' comp fraud. Carreon claimed that he strained his back while working as a nursing assistant in 2003, was placed on temporary total disability, and received benefits.
In 2004, Carreon was hired as a carpenter at Howard Roberts Development while still receiving disability benefits. Shortly after being hired, he was examined by his physician and falsely claimed that he was still injured and failed to tell his doctor he was working at the time.
