Roofing Contractor Charged In South Florida Workers’ Compensation Fraud

A 50-year-old roofing contractor has been arrested and charged with workers’ compensation fraud for intentionally violating a stop work order issued by state regulators in connection with a workers’ compensation penalty. Records from the Florida Department of Financial Services reportedly show that Taylor Contracting & Roofing had been ordered to discontinue all work in Florida until proof of the $279,538.66 penalty had been filed. A total of five employees of Taylor Contracting & Roofing are purported to have been injured but hadn’t received workers’ compensation benefits.

Taylor is alleged to have continued working on roofing jobs through two other companies that he’s is a principal in. What comes to issue is that the stop work order never included two other Taylor companies. It’s likely that a successor stop work order will be entered against those companies too.
