Case Study: Car Accident Reconstruction Leads to Settlement Win

An insurance company suspected that a personal injury claimant was exaggerating injuries from a vehicle accident. Our investigation revealed:

Traffic camera footage showing the claimant walking normally immediately after the crash.

Data from a crash report proving that the impact was too minor to cause serious injury.

Medical reports indicating prior injuries that were falsely attributed to the accident.

This evidence allowed the insurance company to successfully deny a fraudulent claim, saving thousands in unnecessary payouts.

Verifying the Authenticity of Injury Claims

Not all injury claims are fraudulent, but many claimants exaggerate symptoms to receive larger settlements or long-term disability benefits. Our surveillance investigations and medical record analysis help determine whether a person’s reported injuries match their real physical condition.

✔️ Discreet Video Surveillance of Claimants – Observing physical activities and mobility.

✔️ Social Media Investigations – Detecting contradicting statements or posts.

✔️ Analyzing Medical Records for Prior Injuries – Verifying whether the injuries existed before the claim.

Case Study: Long-Term Disability Fraud Caught on Video

A workers’ compensation claimant reported permanent back injuries preventing them from working. Our surveillance revealed:

• The claimant lifting heavy objects and playing sports.
• Social media posts showing them at the gym despite claiming disability.
• Doctor’s reports contradicting the severity of the reported injury.

This evidence resulted in a denied fraudulent claim and criminal charges for insurance fraud.

How Surveillance & Medical Record Analysis Strengthen Cases:

✔️ Providing Court-Admissible Video Evidence.

✔️ Ensuring Medical Claims Are Genuine & Justified.

✔️ Protecting Insurers & Employers from False Disability Claims.

Finding Key Witnesses to Support or Dispute Claims

Personal injury and wrongful death cases often rely on witness testimonies to establish liability. However, witnesses may be difficult to locate, unwilling to cooperate, or provide conflicting statements.

✔️ Tracking Down Eyewitnesses & Unreported Witnesses.

✔️ Verifying the Credibility of Testimonies.

✔️ Cross-Examining Witness Statements for Accuracy.

Case Study: Eyewitness Testimony Saves Defendant in Wrongful Death Case

A business owner was sued for wrongful death after an alleged security lapse led to a fatal incident. Our investigators located a previously unknown witness who:

• Saw the victim engaging in reckless behavior before the accident.
• Provided testimony contradicting the plaintiff’s version of events.

The new testimony resulted in the wrongful death claim being dismissed, saving the business from liability.
