Workman’s Comp Investigations are a type of insurance investigation designed to uncover fraud. The workers’ compensation system is designed to provide benefits to someone injured or sickened as a result of their job. However, some may try to abuse the system by lying, exaggerating, or hiding information to gain an advantage, save money, or reap other benefits. This is known as workers’ compensation fraud, and it is a criminal offense in every state.

Workman’s Comp Investigators

Insurance companies or employers hire workers’ compensation fraud investigators to verify the validity of workers’ comp claims. At SpecTest, our techniques include surveillance, interviews, background checks and other evidence gathering. We review the circumstances surrounding the injury, examine physical evidence at the location, and look for inconsistent accounts and conflicting information.

Our goal is to determine whether a worker is as injured as they claim, whether an employer is following the law, or whether a healthcare provider is billing for unnecessary services. While most claims are valid, there are red flags that may indicate fraud. Unlike errors or mistakes, fraud is deliberate and sometimes even intentionally hidden.
