On April 18, 2023, Jorge Maldonado was convicted of felony workers’ compensation insurance fraud. At a restitution hearing today, the Honorable Tami Bogert ordered Maldonado to pay $687,560.96 in restitution to the victims.

Jorge Maldonado is the owner of Pro-Care Building Maintenance. The California Department of Insurance (CDI) received a suspected fraud referral on Maldonado. An investigation by CDI determined that between 2015 and 2017, Maldonado significantly under-reported the number of employees working for Pro-Care Building Maintenance to three insurance carriers – Employers Preferred Insurance Company, Markel Corporation and Atlas General Insurance Services.  This resulted in the insurance companies losing a total of $687,560.96 in workers’ compensation insurance premiums for the under-reported number of employees.
