Insurance Fraud

Private Investigator in Westchester County Records Video Surveillance Footage of Fraudulent Personal Injury Insurance Claimant.

Headquartered in Mamaroneck, NY in Westchester County, NY the private investigators at Davis Investigations, Inc. were on the scene to conduct a video surveillance assignment for an insurance company client. This was relating to a personal injury claim where the plaintiff slipped and fell at the Westchester Mall and has been red flagged by the insurance company as possible insurance fraud. In her claim to the insurance company, the claimant stated she was unable to ambulate with an even gait and suffered from a debilitating and embarrassing limp primarily affecting her left knee.

Observations made by the Westchester County, NY private investigators were documented with a video camera of the claimant jogging in a park with good coordination and an even stride. The claimant appeared to demonstrate no evidence of the claimed limp, nor the uneven gait. The private investigators filmed her entire workout in the park before she returned home alone near Mamaroneck, NY. This is a excellent example of personal injury insurance fraud.

The insurance fraud emerges from the discrepancy in the claim versus the reality of the capabilities of the claimant. The fact that the claimant is capable of doing a physical act which they claim they are incapable of doing for financial gain is insurance fraud. The Mamaroneck, New York private investigators at Davis Investigations are hired by the insurance company to document a person’s physical abilities related to an insurance fraud investigation. The surveillance video can then be examined by experts to determine if the claim is accurate, exaggerated or fraudulent. Based upon this determination, it will dictate how the insurance company proceeds with the handling of the insurance claim.
