San Antonio Man Sentenced for Workers’ Comp Fraud
Travis County district court sentenced Anthony Coleman Garza of San Antonio on workers’ compensation fraud-related charges, according to an announcement by Texas Mutual Insurance Co.
The court sentenced Garza to deferred adjudication, including two years probated, and ordered Garza to pay $7,497 in restitution to Texas Mutual.
Garza reported a job-related injury while working as a driver for B. Catalani Inc. of San Antonio. He claimed he was unable to work as a result of the injury, and Texas Mutual began paying income benefits to him.
Texas Mutual uncovered evidence that Garza was self-employed operating a tree-trimming business and working for another company as a truck driver while receiving income benefits due to his alleged disability.
