Question
I'm not sure of what subject this would fall under.
I am on worker comp due to a shoulder injury. My ins co received a anonymous letter stating that i wasn't hurt that I use my shoulder and accused me of selling my meds. I do know who sent this and I know I can prove it, this person has caused alot of emotional stress in my life and has nothing to gain by doing this, just self gratification. My pay checks have been stopped and things are being investigated because of this. I'm not afraid of anything because my Dr's office has a contract that anyone on narcotics are subject to pill counts at anytime and random urine test. I just want to know if legally there is anything that can be done to this person for doing this? I hope that you can help me. or direct me in what to do.
Isn't this accusing me of fruad also dis. of narcotics?
If you were receiving workers compensation payments that means you received some sort of award from your state, isnt that correct? That would mean that you had to have an attorney to handle your case. I think that I would refer this to the attorney that you dealt with since it involves your workers comp case. If by chance you chose to handle this by yourself and didn't have an attorney then I think that you need to get one.
This is not a criminal matter. It is a civil matter and involves workmans comp law (which I am not an expert on), civil law (which I am not an expert on), and a personal situation with a person who you might have to sue. All of this ads up to getting an attorney.

Please do not ask me about potential jail sentences that you, your friends, or family might receive in court. There is no way for me to know that. Only a judge could answer a question like that. I am also NOT a probation officer or parole officer so I cannot answer questions that relate to parole or probation. Also please keep in mind that every state has different laws. If you are planning to ask a question about a specific law or criminal charge that pertains to your state only it could be difficult to answer. I also cannot give you legal advice on what to do or what not to do in court. Retired police officer with 26 years experience. Worked in the patrol division as well as over 14 years in the detective bureau. Investigated a wide range of crime such as murder, rape, robbery, theft, fraud, missing persons, and other very sensitive crimes. I am available to answer your questions about criminal law and especially as it applies to police work. I taught at the police academy for several years and am especially knowledgeable about search and seizure. Any question about criminal law is welcome! Please don't ask me to do your homework or ask me questions that obviously come from your teachers or professors. I also do not do online interviews or surveys. Young people need to gain face to face interviewing skills. Local police officers usually are very agreeable to assist in these assignments.

I am very knowledgeable about search and seizure and taught at the police academy for several years on a variety of subjects. I can answer questions that a lot of attorneys cannot since they do not have "street experience".
