Getting a new Job after or during work comp.

Okay so I have been on work comp for a back Injury for like 2 months now and I'm going to be back to full duty in about a week. I just got a job offer from a new company. If I quit right after I get to full duty can I be held responsible for paying back work comp or even be at risk for a civil fraud case? I really can't handle this company any more but I also don't want to put myself at risk of a civil case. Thanks!
