DATE: March 14, 2024
CASE: Ahmad Zaki Noori (Case #21FE006384)
PROSECUTOR: Deputy District Attorney John MacKenzie, Insurance Fraud Unit
On March 23, 2023, Ahmad Zaki Noori was convicted of workers’ compensation insurance fraud. The amount of restitution requested by the victim, Sentry Insurance, was contested by Noori.
On March 12, 2024, a restitution hearing was conducted. The evidence proved the victim sustained losses totaling $139,130.97 in temporary disability pay and medical expenses due to Noori’s fraudulent workers’ compensation insurance claim. The Court ordered Noori to pay the victim $139,130.97 in restitution.
Insurance fraud of this nature puts employees of the company at risk if they are legitimately injured on the job. It can also cause delays in medical treatment and increase the costs of both medical care and insurance premiums that are passed down to the consumer.
