Workers' Compensation Claims Investigations
Every workers compensation claim must meet the AOE/COE (Arising Out of and in the Course of Employment) criteria for the claim to be accepted as a work related injury.
We have decades of experience conducting investigations into all types of claims: psyche, fatalities, cumulative trauma, specific orthopedic injuries, vehicle accidents and many more.
Our comprehensive reports identify possible affirmative defenses as well as providing a list of Red Flags.
Included is a social media check, subrogation investigation, and a check of any previously litigated workers compensation claims.
When appropriate we obtain CHP and coroner reports.
Our services are provided onsite, telephonically, or via video conference by our bilingual Spanish investigators.
Surveillance
Workers' Compensation Claims Investigations
Workers' Compensation Claims Investigations
We conduct surveillance to provide our clients with evidence they can use to determine if the injured workers life's activities are consistent with the subjective pain complaints mentioned to their treating doctor.
Red Flags for surveillance:
Does the injured worker not answer calls during normal work hours?
Has the injured worker also stopped working their second job?
Subjective complaints in a medical report are not consistent with objective findings.
Injured worker refuses to return to modified duties.
Injured worker is off work for a longer period of time than normal for same injury.
These are just a few Red Flags that could trigger a request for surveillance.
Contact us to discuss your need for surveillance.
