Texas Man Sentenced for Workers’ Comp Fraud

Texas Mutual Insurance Co. reported that a Travis County district court sentenced Rodney Williams of Seabrook, Texas, for workers’ compensation fraud-related charges.

The court sentenced Williams to deferred adjudication and ordered him to pay $6,156 in restitution to Texas Mutual.

Williams reported a job-related injury while working as a welder for Vorte Industries Inc. of Alvin, Texas. He claimed he was unable to work as a result of the injury, and Texas Mutual began paying workers’ compensation benefits to him. Texas Mutual uncovered evidence that Williams was working as a skilled laborer at a Houston company and a League City company while receiving income benefits due to his alleged disability.
