Workers Compensation insurance is a general requirement of employing people, in Queensland. Many choose the Worksafe Qld Government Workcover Queensland insurance. We investigate Workcover fraud suspicion, where the insurer won't act, or the insured requires evidence. This Workcover fraud evidence is protecting the employer, and may prompt the insurer to act.
A Sunshine Coast WorkCover investigator, Sunshine Coast WorkCover fraud investigation, Sunshine Coast WorkCover surveillance investigation, is an investigation into suspected fraud, or exaggeration. A licensed Sunshine Coast private investigator investigates, usually after the claim is accepted, when the Workers Compensation insurer cannot act without evidence; the onus is on the employer.
A private Workcover fraud investigation is about giving some power, some control, back the the Sunshine Coast business, the employer. As the insurance provider becomes a rehabilitation coordinator, with the injured worker as the focus, the Sunshine Coast employer must establish evidence of Workcover fraud themselves. This evidence can protect the business, reduce insurance liability, and may move the insurance providers position.
Most WorkCover claims are legitimate, you can see the worker trying to improve, to return to work; these are not the matters that come to us. Where WorkCover fraud is suspected, Workers Compensation fraud, we are a Sunshine Coast WorkCover investigator, Sunshine Coast WorkCover fraud investigation service, Sunshine Coast private investigator, Sunshine Coast private detective, Sunshine Coast private investigation and surveillance service.
We do investigate for the Government insurance scheme insured, the privately insured who went through a broker, for the self insured, and very occasionally for the self insured, who got caught. For the Government insured we generally recommend a week of surveillance, to gather evidence of deception, of fraud. For the self insured this may be many weeks of surveillance, spread over years, as the claim is dragged out; you are waiting for the injury to "stabilise", so the civil case can begin.
If dealing with an insurance company, once you have evidence of fraud, of deception, then ensure you talk to the fraud section, not the front desk, and provide them the evidence. Hold onto a copy, and potentially pass it to your own solicitors, as well. It is not unknown for evidence to be misplaced, even with computers. If coming closer to the time for a civil case, get evidence of real world capacity, restrictions. Note that some have been acting for so long it has become "real".
Should you get a good outcome from your surveillance, consider leaving it a week or two, and repeating. Unbelievably, at times, you need a mountain of evidence to move a judge. Someone can claim they were having a good day, a good week. You need to counter that. You may also encounter some insurance that will claim they won't use your evidence, then take it, and use it! It is lawfully obtained, and accepted in court.
Be aware of the morphing claim, the injury no one saw, the person who avoids engagement, or return to work activities, and the late onset injury claim, or the claim that becomes a mental injury claim. You will also see some groups, some families, where there seem to be a cluster of claimants, living the good life. Some files come to us when a claimant has been on an insurance claim far longer than is logical, without recovery. Six months off, for a papercut, would appear excessive.
Observations like these may trigger an employer Workcover investigation, a Workers Compensation investigation, a surveillance investigation. There is a suspicion of deception, of fraud, and an identified need to investigate. Sometimes word comes to hand that the employee has started their own side business, is doing cash work, or has become the babysitter whilst their partner now works.
We do need to be advised of the restrictions claimed, the skills and qualifications of the worker, and any information to hand about current activities. This can include social media boast about surfing, or other activities. Social media posts, by themselves, are not sufficient to establish fraud, deception; people lie on social media, or post about old activities. If you know their social media details, please provide us the link.
Please be very careful about discussing employing a private investigator to investigate. We are in a "loose lips sink ships" industry. You may not know who is linked to who, in the workplace, and any rumour that gets back to the claimant will cause issues with an investigation.
