Insurance Fraud
Our specialty is producing the videotape
evidence needed to mitigate these claims in
a cost productive discrete manner. Our
specialty is worker's compensation,
liability, and malingering injuries of all
types. Surveillance also known as Sub-Rosa
is very common along with a comprehensive
interview with the claimant. Activity checks
are commonly utilized in these
investigations along with neighborhood
interviews which will determine their daily
activities, current residency, degree of
disability and lifestyle. With over 15,000
hours working in the field of
investigations, we are confident we will
provide you with the videotape evidence with
time and date imposed. More often than not,
the claimant will exaggerate the claim and
our film will prove that. In the event of
insurance fraud, these are prosecutable and
will be dealt with in a court of law. Fraud
is wrong!
We work well with the Insurance Companies
and their Special Investigative Units (SIU),
small insurance companies helping with the
defense, third party administrators and
employers whom are self insured! Conducting
these types of discrete investigations is
very difficult as these types of individuals
tend to be very suspicious. After our
investigation you will be able to send the
videotape to the treating physician and
attorney's office to make the appropriate
determination and further decisions. Our
evidence will typically help mitigate the
claim and provide the evidence needed. If
there is a discrepancy in the claimant's
level of activity, we will appear in person
and show the film to the court and judge
and/or the treating physician.
If you suspect fraud or an exaggerated
claim, it is important to get piece of mind
and do a due-diligence investigation. On one
of our prior investigations, the claimant
was claimed he was totally disabled and was
going for 1 million dollars. The film showed
the claimant driving, walking, conversing,
utilizing gardening equipment and working.
He went so far as not even able to get out
of the vehicle to speak with his treating
physician! In this case his parents were
involved and lucky not to be charged. Fraud
is illegal, wrong and some individuals need
to be dealt with in a court of law!
Occasionally we have to film the claimant
when driving depending upon their current
medical restrictions. We have discrete
pursuit cameras on our vehicles and this
film may be the best evidence we obtain as
the claimant might have stated they could
not drive. Also great evidence as it will
show the movement of the head, neck and
hands. If there is a presumed extremely
injury, this may be a discrepancy to what
they have informed the treating physician
of. With the use of hidden camera's we are
able to obtain the activities within
department stores, parks, downtown walking
about, theme parks, etc. This evidence will
also have the time and date imposed onto the
film and cannot be edited.
Identify theft or persons whom attempt to
with hold their true identities are
typically uncovered during the course of a
background investigation. All too often we
run across claimant's with more than one
identity. On one of our investigations, the
man was supposed to be off work with a lower
back injury. In fact he was actually working
full time in a field picking broccoli
bending over all day. Interesting how this
individual had 5 driver's licenses and
numerous social security cards and several
alien identifications all with the same face
and address. This claimant did not receive
any awards and he was ordered to pay back
restitution. He was incarcerated in prison
for fraud and possibly facing deportation.
Now that is justice!
