Personal injury claims are often legitimate and are an important way for people to claim money back for accidents which have impacted their life, health and work. However, all too often your suspicions may be aroused.
If you are in the position of having a personal injury claim brought against you or your company, you are entitled to make sure that such a claim is valid. After all, no one wants to pay out money unnecessarily, or be blamed for situations that you are not responsible for.
It is a possibility that you could encounter personal injury fraud, and if this goes undetected it could have some substantial repercussions for you personally and for your company. In many cases, we will find that the claims are exaggerated in both injury and the compensation needed – it is well worth taking the time to uncover these fraudulent activities.
Personal injury can happen in a variety of settings. We handle a variety of these claims, predominantly claimants who have experienced car crashes. Car accidents can be incredibly damaging and difficult, with many claims being legitimate and paid out. However, in some cases claimants will exaggerate the extent of their injury’s or return at a later date to make secondary claims years after the accident itself, suggesting that they have suffered long term pain and may even claim they are unable to work.
Such claims may be difficult to prove, even for an insurance company. We can help you with these difficult decisions by deploying our specialist surveillance operators and seeing how the claimants spend their days. In some cases, this has led to the discovery that they are indeed making fraudulent insurance claims by simply obtaining video evidence of the claimant undertaking activity’s that dispute their claims.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, workplace injury fraud is one of the most frequent personal injury claims made. This can happen even in office environments, however it is most likely to occur in industries that involve manual handling. In many cases, companies put strict safety procedures in place to ensure the physical wellbeing of their staff, and to mitigate any financial harm that can come with a personal injury claim.
Accidents will happen even with precautions in place, but if an employee has made a claim which does not seem to match their injury, then you may wish to investigate further. We can support you by providing conclusive evidence in the form of video recording. Using this method, we will track your employee in a completely discreet and legal manner, and find out whether or not they are behaving consistently with the claim they have made.
If they are claiming they are unfit to work, we can use surveillance starting at their home address and provide you with all the proof you need regarding the veracity (or lack thereof) of their claim.
National Private Investigators can support you with a variety of personal injury fraud investigations, throughout London and the wider UK. You will start your journey with a confidential call with one of our friendly and experienced case handlers.
During this call, we will gather all necessary information. Our ex-military private detectives are widely skilled and can investigate the claim with an emphasis on surveillance. Afterwards, you will be provided with surveillance logs and time/date stamped video footage, which can be used to disprove fraudulent claims.
Our operatives work mainly by conducting personal injury surveillance on the claimant to discover whether the claims are false or legitimate. Each skilled detective is trained to maximise video footage of the claimant so that this can be used as evidence in court in order to dispute any claims made.
We will also conduct a thorough background search to discover whether there is any evidence online that can be used to dispute the claim. Both the information gathered from our background search and any video footage will be obtained legally and discretely. We are experts in detecting when someone has injuries that are not genuine, or which may be less serious than claimed – this will come out during the investigation.
