How to Spot Scams and Fraud

The Nebraska Workers’ Compensation Court occasionally receives reports of malicious email scams. These are usually directed to injured workers claiming to set up a court hearing requiring the worker’s attendance and a request for payment of legal fees.

Please note that a Nebraska Workers’ Compensation Court Notice of Hearing WILL NOT: 

• Ask you to pay legal fees;  

• Refer to any governing agency, department, board, or commission other than the “Nebraska Workers' Compensation Court”; 

• Refer to an identifying case number other than a docket and page number;

• Have live links to websites, phone numbers, or addresses; or

• Generally email you if you are represented by an attorney, or you made a specific request for the Nebraska Workers’ Compensation Court to notify you by email.
