Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Communicating with workers who witnessed Floyd's accident is the most effective action as it will help to verify the validity of his claim, investigate the cause of the accident, and determine if there was any fraudulent activity involved. Auditing Floyd's credit report or refusing to pay his medical expenses without proof of fraudulent activity could lead to legal issues. Requesting OSHA investigation may not be necessary as their standards were not violated in the accident, and it may not provide valuable information for the case.
