4084 REVIEW DENIED Since the Labor Code requires an employer to forward an employee's workers' compensation claim to its insurer, an employer who does so is not thereby relying on misrepresentations made by an employee who allegedly submitted a fraudulent claim; an allegation that the employee's allegedly fraudulent workers' compensation claim will eventually cause an increase in the employer's insurance premiums is premature and insufficient to plead damage.CitationLEEGIN v DIAZ (Fraudulent WC Claim) 131 CA4 1517 [See: CCP 425.16; LabC 5401(c); Simtel v NBC 71 CA4 1066; T/AT 6/99; Service by Medallion v Clorox 44 CA4 1807, T/AT 7/96]
