Chapter 47 - Workers' Compensation Fraud Act
§ 56-47-106. Restitution.

(a) A person convicted of a violation of § 56-47-103 shall be ordered to make monetary restitution for any financial loss or damages sustained by an injured employee or any other person as a result of the violation. Financial loss or damage shall include, but is not necessarily limited to, loss of earnings, out-of-pocket and other expenses, paid deductible amounts under an insurance policy, insurer claim payments, costs reasonably attributed to investigations and recovery efforts by owners, insurers, insurance professionals, law enforcement and other public authorities, and costs of prosecution.

(b) When restitution is ordered, the court shall determine its extent and methods. Restitution may be imposed in addition to a fine and, if ordered, any other penalty, but not in lieu thereof. The court shall determine whether restitution, if ordered, shall be paid in a single payment or installments and shall fix a period of time within which payment of restitution is to be made in full.
