Surveillance for Insurance Fraud
Insurance-related surveillance is a major element of an investigators work, as Claim Adjusters do not have the time of resources to investigate whether claimants are telling the truth. Therefore, in scenarios where there is a case for reasonable doubt, using surveillance helps to give an unbiased view of what actions a claimant has undertaken, especially if the claim pertains to personal injury. As in some cases, it has been proven that a personal injury claimant has been perfectly able-bodied, leaving them liable for insurance fraud.

We asked our Head of Surveillance to give an honest inside opinion of surveillance:
The comments are interesting but valid.
We hear time and time again “you just turn up at the address sit in a car and watch what happens”
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Any diligent Private Investigator worthy of the title would, firstly, attend the area surrounding the surveillance site prior to the surveillance and examine ways of entrance and exit to the area and any other topographical matters that may directly affect the surveillance.
Nothing is worse than sitting at a location for several hours and the subject suddenly leaves the address and drives past you whilst your parked facing the wrong way and a hasty, and noticeable, three point turn is then required to maintain sight of the subject.
Or sitting unnecessarily close to an address only to find that the neighbour paying attention to your parked car is a good friend of the subject of the surveillance.
It takes a certain skill to undertake surveillance CORRECTLY and obtain a result that is of use to the client.
I feel that here at Insight our Surveillance Investigators are just that., Surveillance Agents who have honed their skills through training and experience gained in active surveillance who can attain the required evidence as a result of that dedication to their profession. .
Insight’s own Surveillance Agents have worked in many countries adapting to local environments so different from the UK on many occasions and that is the mark of a good surveillance operation.
