SIU Surveillance

Insurance Fraud is a crime. It drives up the cost of insurance anddenies proper benefits to those who are truly injured. Those who commit insurance fraudface stiff civil penalties, criminal fines and even jail time. Often, criminal convictionsand civil judgments are placed against those who attempt to defraud the system.

Claims nationally cost consumers and employers billions of dollars ayear. It doesn't stop with workers compensations or unemployment fraud. It hits useveryday as a result of fraudulent personal injury claims throughout increased automobileand health insurance rates. Whether you work or not, you pay for the cost of fraud throughhigh insurance prices.

Video surveillance is frequently used to determine if a claimant is engaged inphysical activities that contradict the nature and extent of their alleged injury. Courtshave generally encouraged the use of surveillance as a means of investigating suspectedfraudulent insurance claims.

Our agency works with insurance companies or employers to investigateworkers compensation claims. We investigate these claims to determine if in fact anemployee has faked or exaggerated their injuries, has unreported income or employment at asecond job.

Our typical investigation would determine the claimant's currentactivities, any full or part-time employment held since the date of loss, health status,civil or criminal litigation and recreational or strenuous activities.
