Insurance Claim Investigations

As a private investigator, there is nothing I enjoy more than nailing someone that is cheating on an insurance claim. There are so many that are receiving benefits for injuries that are fraudulent and as the economy worsens, this situation typically gets even worse. We have busted people that have been collecting for over 25 years...that's right, twenty five years. Like the poor guy that hurt his back in 1981 and has been collecting ever since. Poor fellow can't bend, can't lift anything and even goes to the doctor hobbling on a cane and struggling to get in and out of the door. Why is he at home building a fence then? On video, carrying not just 4 x 4's but 6 x 6's that were about 10 foot long, using them as posts on his new privacy fence. Digging holes, lifting bags of cement and mixing it in a wheelbarrow.

How about the poor man that is wheel chair bound and has been since the early 90's? Poor fellow, can't even stand erect and hasn't been out of his chair for over 10 years. He even bought a wheelchair accessible van... as well as another car that wasn't accessible at all. I guess that explains why he used the van for doctors visits and the Toyota for other trips. I never saw a Prius that could fit a motorized wheelchair in it. I watched in amazement as a miracle occurred, the lame walked right in front of my eyes. He even walked the whole yard cutting his grass.

As I said before, I love this kind of work. Maybe it is from working in law enforcement for nearly 20 years or maybe it is because I have a handicapped daughter that is truly paralyzed and has been on a leg brace since she was a child with no hope of ever improving. Whatever the reason, we all need to do our part to combat this problem. The money that gets paid to investigate these can be well worth it.

Thanks for stopping by.
