If you suspect an employee is engaging in illicit or fraudulent behavior, we make sure to cover all of your bases:

  • Workers’ Compensation Investigation for disabled or dishonest employees
    • Surveillance
      • Discretely monitoring both physical location and behavior – as well as Internet activity – ensures the workers’ compensation claims are not falsified or exaggerated. This results in less liability and funds paid out from your business in the event that an employee exploits the workers’ compensation program and its benefits.
    • Site Investigation
      • Site investigations include checking medical records, employment records, and gathering miscellaneous evidence that could be relevant to a workers’ compensation claim. Whether something is out of place or just seems out of the ordinary, a thorough investigation can uncover details that might otherwise be overlooked and not considered.
    • Witness Interviews
      • Some of the most beneficial information can be gathered from people who witness an event that triggers a workers’ compensation claim. Whether or not they know it, bystanders and other witnesses can offer vital evidence that relieves your organization of liability for the claim.

Your business’s litigation can become costly, time-consuming, and start a slew of work for your public relations team. If it’s personal, your sensitive matters must be kept confidential and handled by professionals. Ensure that we have your back in any of the following areas you may need:
