Commercial Investigations

Commercial Investigations

Documented evidence helps prevent fraud, and preventing fraud can save you money. The early detection of just one fraudulent claim can make an impact on your bottom line.

One of the most common areas of insurance fraud is the personal injury claim. From the most minor injury to a claim for complete disability, exaggeration is common place. Increasingly, claimants exaggerate their injuries to maximize their potential claims. There are those whose injuries are genuine, but each and every claim must be verified. Using the utmost discretion we are able to provide independent evidence either to prove or to disprove a claim.

Wherever possible our reports are supported by covert photographs or video footage, showing how the claimant has been affected by their injuries, and any resulting curtailment of their normal activities.

Details supplied by potential employees on their application forms and CVs are a mixture of facts and exaggerations. The facts are difficult to alter but virtually everything else can be overstated, invented or omitted. Experience suggests that over 35% of all applications contain omissions or certain misrepresentations which, if correctly included, might have a detrimental effect on the application. The simplest of checks can avert most cases of potential employee fraud and dishonesty.

All our corporate investigations are overseen by an experienced manager, working in closely with the client and their advisors. Our approach is always tailored to the specific requirements and objectives of each assignment. In all instances we complement our involvement with extensive technical skills and in-house research capabilities incorporation both national and international databases.

In essence, we can provide the expert assistance needed in any matter, however difficult or contentious.
