WSIB Investigations

Surveillance and Activity Checks

One of the most effective ways to verify the legitimacy of a WSIB claim is through discreet surveillance. Our investigators use advanced techniques to monitor the claimant’s daily activities, ensuring that their reported injuries align with their actual physical capabilities. We collect high-quality video and photographic evidence, documenting any activities that contradict the claim, such as engaging in strenuous physical tasks or working another job while collecting benefits.

Background & Employment History Verification

A thorough background check is essential in identifying patterns of prior fraudulent claims or undisclosed employment. We investigate a claimant’s work history, checking for any secondary jobs, under-the-table income, or previous claims that may indicate abuse of the system. By cross-referencing employment records, insurance data, and witness statements, we uncover potential red flags that employers and insurance providers need to be aware of.

Social Media & Online Activity Investigation

Social media has become a valuable tool in identifying fraudulent claims. Many claimants unknowingly reveal their true physical condition online, posting pictures or videos that contradict their reported injuries. We conduct a comprehensive digital footprint analysis, monitoring social media activity, online business listings, and public records to detect undisclosed employment, excessive travel, or participation in physical activities that would not be possible with their claimed injuries.

Witness Interviews & Statements

Speaking directly to people who have interacted with the claimant can provide crucial insights into the validity of their WSIB claim. We conduct confidential interviews with coworkers, supervisors, neighbors, and other relevant individuals to gather statements about the claimant’s work ethic, past injuries, and post-injury activities. These testimonies help cross-reference facts and detect inconsistencies in the claimant’s case.

Medical & Insurance Fraud Analysis

Medical documentation is a key factor in WSIB claims, and fraudulent claims often involve misrepresented injuries, exaggerated symptoms, or falsified medical reports. We work alongside legal teams and insurance experts to analyze medical records, treatment histories, and physician reports to detect any irregularities or discrepancies. Our goal is to identify false claims, staged injuries, or improper medical billing practices that could impact the employer or insurer financially.
