Frequently Asked Questions

How can surveillance help in identifying fraudulent WCB or WSIB claims?

Surveillance is a key tool used by licensed private investigators to monitor the activities of claimants. By capturing video evidence and conducting discreet observations, we can provide businesses with clear insights into the legitimacy of a workers’ compensation claim and expose any fraudulent activity.

What types of investigations can be done to verify the validity of a workers' compensation claim?

Our investigations can include surveillance, background checks, witness interviews, and neighbourhood inquiries. These methods are crucial in verifying the claimant’s reported injury, confirming their activities, and ensuring that claims are legitimate.

How do you use surveillance to track the activities of a claimant during a WCB or WSIB investigation?

Our surveillance services involve discreetly monitoring a claimant’s movements and activities over a period of time. We use advanced equipment to capture HD-4K footage and document any discrepancies between the claimant’s reported limitations and their actual activities.

What should a business do if they suspect a worker is committing fraud with their WCB or WSIB claim?

If fraud is suspected, it’s essential to act quickly. Our team can conduct thorough surveillance, background investigations, and collect evidence to help you prove or disprove the claim. We ensure that all investigations comply with legal and regulatory standards to provide reliable results.

How long does a typical WCB or WSIB investigation take?

We recommend a minimum of three 12-hour days for consistency in surveillance. This allows us to monitor a claimant’s activities over a sufficient period of time to capture accurate and reliable evidence. The duration may vary depending on the complexity of the case.
