A Workers Compensation private investigator is employed when fraud is suspected. This includes suspicion by the self insured, those going through a broker, or Government insured. We investigate Workers Compensation fraud suspicions. Using a licensed private investigator, a Workers Compensation fraud investigator, is legal; the evidence can be presented to the Workers Compensation insurance fraud section, your solicitor, and the court.
Most claims are not fraudulent; you will see the worker engaging with the employer, working to get better, to return to work. These are not the matters we are employed to investigate.
Once a claim is accepted the insurer becomes a rehabilitation coordinator, with the injured worker as the client, and an intent to achieve one of the four Workers Compensation outcomes. The employer is talking to a rehab coordinator, or a receptionist, who has the file, which views the injured worker as the client; it is irrelevant who is paying the insurance.
At this time moving the insurance to investigate suspected fraud, deception, becomes harder. There are restrictions in the insurer. A private investigator, employed by the employer, can lawfully investigate, gather evidence. We have had great success in these investigations, gathering evidence of fraud; it is not cheap, but the benefits to the employer can be large.
We do investigate for the Government scheme insured, as a Workcover fraud suspicion investigation, a Workers Compensation fraud investigator service. We investigate for those that went through a broker, looking for the cheapest insurance. We investigate for the privately insured, such as some mining groups, and labour hire suppliers, as well.
We recommend a week of observation for the Government insured, to obtain sufficient evidence to move the insurance. Where good evidence is obtained a further block of observation, to prove the activity, may be warranted. For the self insured, surveillance may be required over extended periods, blocks of surveillance over years; this is because the self insured bear responsibility for all investigation, evidence gathering, themselves. Those that went through a broker fall in between. Workers Compensation surveillance, Workcover surveillance, has two purposes.
The first purpose is to confirm or deny claimed restrictions. This is the first step in determining a deception, a fraud, and relates to income support which can go on for years. The second is preparing for the civil claim, the claim for ongoing medical costs, the pain and suffering, the loss of future income. The behaviour, and activity, displayed by claimants can, at times, be amazing; probable the best outcome, from the employers perspective, is establishing that the person is now self employed, conducting home renovations, or is working elsewhere whilst claiming incapacity. This may take long periods of surveillance, it is about time on target.
The employer must offer evidence of fraud, to have the insurer change back to an investigator, and consider the file. A private investigator, a Workers Compensation fraud investigation, is the way to gather this evidence. The minimum is a reasonable suspicion of fraud, of deception.
