What is a Workers Comp Investigation?

By definition Workers’ Compensation (also known as Workers’ Comp) is a system of insurance that reimburses an employer for damages that must be paid to an employee for injury occurring in the course of employment.

A Workers’ Comp investigation is one where a company hires an investigator to confirm the validity of a workers compensation claim. In fact, workers do get hurt on the job and have valid claims. Unfortunately, many workers exaggerate work-related injuries or claim injuries that they do not have in order to receive workers’ compensation benefits. Workers’ Comp adjusters and companies use private investigators to perform surveillance and provide them with the answers that they need if they suspect something suspicious.

Over the years we have completed numerous workers comp investigations with some very interesting stories. One particular case involved a gentleman who had been out of work on workers comp pay for years for an alleged back injury. Through investigative tactics such as surveillance and video this individual was documented cleaning his pool, climbing ladders and working in his back yard. Time, patience and persistence can produce amazing results in a situation like this.

These types of cases are often sensitive and difficult to determine but a professional investigation can help you find out and document the truth. We utilize a combination of personal, video and audio surveillance as well as interviews, background checks, and other investigative tools to determine the legitimacy of workers’ comp claims.
