Workers Compensation Investigation
Do you suspect that one of your employees is falsifying a work-related
injury? There are many ways to identify possible workers' compensation
fraud.
Consider it a red flag if the injured worker:
-
Reports that the accident occurred in the early
morning, especially on a Monday. It may be a sports-related or
weekend injury claimed as having happened at work.
-
Says the injury occurred in an area where he or she
wouldn't normally be (especially if it's a high-risk area), or if no
one witnessed the accident.
-
Is facing financial pressures or anticipates
disruption in pay due to an impending strike or looming layoffs.
-
Has a history of short-term employment.
-
Changes doctors several times while undergoing
treatment for the injury.
-
Takes off more work days than the reported accident
would seem to warrant.
-
Retains legal representation immediately after the
accident has occurred.
The purpose of this investigation is to confirm the legitimacy or
fraudulence of a claim. Surveillance is critical to evaluating the
validity of a worker’s compensation claim and vital for building a
reliable defense. Videotape testimony provides valuable evidence to
support or impeach a claimant’s testimony. Arkus, Inc. provides high
quality, results focused investigative services, utilizing the most

videotape is an essential aspect of the investigation and a priority for
