We investigate for the employer, the business, the insurance company, the self insured, mining contractors, labour hire, employment agencies, and small business, in Rockhampton, Qld, and across the coalfields, including Clermont and Emerald. Using a licensed investigator, private investigation, is legal.
Early investigations are often factual investigations, interviewing witnesses, gathering affidavits, talking to the injured party, and preserving evidence. We investigate for the self insured, privately insured, and Government insured.
We are here to gather the evidence that permits the insurer to take actions. They may need evidence of fraud, to take action.
Insurance cannot act on unsubstantiated suspicions. We are here to take suspicion to a reasonable suspicion (civil) of Workers Compensation claim fraud.
The investigation may begin early where the claimant is a disgruntled worker. It may be that the claim is suspect from the start.
Later on, after a claim has been accepted, and questions are raised, our investigations are often private investigator surveillance, to compare claimed restrictions with the real world restrictions displayed. These are discreet investigations.
This is for cases where fraud is suspected, where the worker won't engage in return to work activity, is getting worse not better, their injury is morphing into something else. Investigating suspicion is a positive action.
Sometimes word comes back to employer indicating the person is not as restricted as claimed, or the employer uncovers a history of sham claims, or undeclared injuries. It may be a worker who was reprimanded, and went off sick, or suspicion raised by other aspects of the claim.
This may trigger an investigation, to gather evidence. Often the insurance cannot engage, because the level of suspicion does not meet their standards.
For the insurer, such as WorkCover Qld, or the insurer of the privately insured, once a claim is accepted, or the worker engages a no win, no fee, solicitor and the claim is suddenly accepted, the insurer becomes a rehabilitation coordinator; the onus returns to the employer at this time, to 'prove' the fraud.
The employer turns to the licensed Rockhampton private investigator, Rockhampton private detective, the Rockhampton WorkCover fraud investigator, Rockhampton Workers Compensation fraud investigator, the workplace injury claim investigator. We investigate for the Government insured, the privately insured, the self insured.
The minimum standard required, once a claim is accepted, is that the employer holds a reasonable suspicion (civil standard). That requires supporting evidence.
For a Government insured, looking to establish fraud, deception, a week of surveillance is usually enough. Where the employer is self insured the time spent is usually much longer, and multiple times over a longer period.
For the Government insured they are looking to gather evidence of fraud, of deception, to establish the suspicion. There is an expectation that the insurance will then take over the investigation, once evidence is presented to the fraud section.
For the privately insured, the time frames are longer. They have to actually gather evidence, over an extended period, to demonstrate deception. This may mean multiple blocks, sometimes over years.
Surveillance looses its effectiveness once it is revealed in court documents, or other paperwork, to the worker. The wariness that occurs is understandable. For some people with issues paranoia may already be present.
Some investigations reveal outstanding outcomes in the first days, however this is rare. Most investigations involve long periods of patient observation.
To have a person display an action, an activity, once, that goes against their restrictions is nice. What is required is consistent behaviour inconsistent with the claimed restrictions. Anyone can have a good day.
Workers Compensation fraud investigators investigate suspicion. The objective is to take the suspicion to a reasonably suspect standard.
This is the standard generally required by an insurance provider, to take matters further. Once a claim is accepted the insurance provider becomes a rehabilitation coordinator, with the injured workers as the client.
In most cases the system works well, you can see the injured employee trying to improve, to engage in return to work activities. We are not involved in these cases.
Where the person gets worse, not better, the injury morphs, there is evidence of doctor shopping, fraud is suspected. These are the cases we investigate.
The Rockhampton employer, the business, must be able to show that they reasonably suspect fraud, through the presentation of evidence. This is basically requiring that fraud be proved before the insurer can act. A private investigation addresses this.
When you suspect a claim is wrong, you need to investigate that suspicion, to protect the business, to prevent fraud, to prevent copy cat claims, to avoid a huge civil claim. Contact us to arrange an investigation.
