"The DA turned me down and the ADA flat out told me "This is an election year, we need rapes and murders. There's no glory in worker's comp."

No wonder you got nowhere.

You don't take a case to a DA. If the DA hasn't come looking for you (usually due to publicity), then don't bother.

What you do is counter-sue the employee for fraud. Your "well documented case" is your ticket to getting a bigger settlement from your employee than what you stand to lose to your employee in her original suit against you.

But here's the kicker: in your counter suit, any decent attorney will set up the case so as to provide you with an opportunity to ask the judge in your *civil* case to order the employee held on *criminal* charges.

You tried a full frontal attack (by going to the DA). You lost. I've been in business for decades. I seldom go for full frontal attacks. Far more successful are the oblique attacks. Let the judge demand charges. DA's don't turn judges down.

You'll learn.
