How can a Workers’ Compensation Investigation Service Help You
Workers’ compensation investigations can be useful if you need to investigate the validity of a claim for compensation. It is not uncommon for claimants to exaggerate the extent of the injuries that they have suffered, or falsify claims. Workers’ compensation fraud can cost a business a a huge amount of money – collectively it costs the industry billions of dollars every year. Identifying false claims or areas where someone else is liable could save you a lot of money.
How is Fraud Caught?
We use private investigators to carry out surveillance, and use high definition video caught with covert cameras to capture footage of any claimant who we catch engaging in activities which contradict the injuries that they claim to have suffered from, or show that they are exaggerating their physical restrictions.
AOE or COE – we perform investigations to determine the facts about alleged injuries that were either arising out of employment or in the course of employment, to determine whether the claims are true and whether they were really in the scope of employment or if they were non-industrial or affected by a third party. Through a detailed AOE/COE investigation, it becomes possible to document injuries and facts before someone’s memory deteriorates or facts and evidence get lost. Documenting the claims early on, along with reports from witnesses, can help to avoid the possibility of coaching of claimants and witnesses by a workers’ compensation attorney.
Is a Workers’ Compensation Investigation Necessary?
With a workers’ compensation investigation you can ensure that workers who are making claims are really entitled to get compensation. This will ensure that workers with legitimate claims get the money they are entitled to, and that those who are simply trying to get money for no good reason will not be able to commit fraud. A good investigation company can be incredibly beneficial for your business.
Background Checks and Traditional Investigation – we carry out investigation into a person’s background, check records to determine whether a worker really is injured, and investigate to see if a worker has filed other compensation claims in the past, or if they have ever been convicted of compensation fraud.
Examining Evidence – We collect evidence to see if there has been compensation insurance fraud. Through detailed evidence collection it can be possible to prosecute people who make claims that are not legitimate.
Collecting Witness Statements – the sooner statements are collected, the more accurate they are likely to be. We compile multiple written and oral statements which can be used as evidence in court if necessary.
Subrogation – Private investigators will collect evidence which could potentially show third party liability, making it possible to collect expenses from another part if you are not completely at fault.
Special Investigations – Our SIU workers are trained investigators who are skilled in every aspect of workers’ compensation fraud investigation, including interviews, analysis, research, statement collection, evidence collection, document safeguarding and more.
