Do Insurance Companies Use Private Investigators To Disprove Claims?
Surveillance is a technique frequently used in high benefit cases, or where claimants allege disability based upon either subjective type conditions or where the objective support is not indicative of the restrictions or limitations. In high benefit claims, the insurer is willing to invest significant money to terminate or deny a potentially expensive claim. Claimants must be wary not only of their activity levels while on claim, but of any statements made to the insurer about their daily activities. Inconsistencies can be fatal to a claim: the expression "a picture is worth a thousand words" holds very true with regard to surveillance.
