 Why Perform Workers Compensation Investigations

In any given year, roughly 10% of all workers compensation claims are fraudulent. These fraudulent claims end up making insurance premiums higher, and while much of it is from employees, there are also some employers that are misrepresenting their payroll or misclassifying workers in order to save money on premiums.

When reviewing workers compensation claims, we will look at things like medical records, claims history, and ongoing activities since the claim was filed. We will surveil the client in question, their home, interview various people who know the client, review social media activity, and more. All of this is designed to illustrate someone who is recovering from an injury, or to demonstrate that the person who filed the claim is fraudulently taking insurance money.

Typical Findings With Workers Compensation Fraud

As part of our investigations into workers compensation insurance claims, we have found many issues that have caused them to be flagged, and benefits stopped. Many times, there is an unsubstantiated claim where there are no witnesses, or the details are inconsistent between the written report and the verbal interview.

Other times, there is suspicious activity that doesn't match up, such as refusing medical examinations or being unreachable at home when they should be recuperating.
