William Hall, 65, of Oakland, surrendered to authorities on 23 counts of insurance fraud. Hall was arrested and booked into the Alameda County Jail, but later released on $10,000 bail, according to the California Department of Insurance.
Hall claimed he was unable to work his October 15, 1999 shift at Peet’s Coffee & Tea in Oakland due to an alleged back injury he sustained while mopping the floor on the previous nights’ shift.
Hall, a retired Oakland Unified School District employee, filed a workers’ compensation claim and began medical treatment for his injuries. Investigators discovered that Hall repeatedly falsified his medical history to evaluating physicians, failing to disclose a long history of back problems. Tanner Insurance has paid a total of approximately $40,200 for Hall’s claim.
