Workers’ Comp Fraud 101: Be Sure to Wipe Your Pumpkin

A Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Trolley driver has been charged with insurance fraud, misleading police and perjury for filing a false workers’ compensation claim after an alleged assault on the Mattapan trolley line. On Oct. 30, 2016, police responded to a call where the driver “claimed a man in dark clothing, wearing a ‘Michael Myers’ Halloween mask and carrying a plastic pumpkin had boarded his trolley and began attacking him.”
