A 49-year-old Madison County, New York man who claimed a job-related injury left him unable to work was arrested after investigators discovered that he was continuing to work as a truck driver. Ronald Tornatore, of Canastota, was arrested and charged with insurance fraud, offering a false instrument for filing and perjury.
Investigators said Tornatore accepted $33,325 in workers’ compensation benefits after claiming a knee injury he suffered in 2005 prevented him from working. Tornatore submitted documentation and presented testimony before the Workers’ Compensation Board claiming that he had not worked in any capacity since his injury. However, investigators found that he had continued to work as a truck driver.
If he is convicted, Tornatore could be sentenced to up to seven years in prison.
