We get results.

Sometimes the Workers' Compensation Fraud surveillance industry is frustrating.  Often, you get great, solid proof that a claimant is working or is malingering, only to have the case wind up coming in again a year later, with the client looking for seemingly endless evidence of the fraud in order to prosecute.  Sometimes, you get a relatively short piece of video of someone's activity and the next thing you know, the heat is on and their benefits are discontinued.  Much of the time however, you go out and do surveillance and you just never find out what results from it.
We strive for objectivity in our investigations, and attempt to give our clients a straightforward and unbiased view of events as we observe them, without making any judgement as to the character of the subjects of the investigation, that's the way we retain our integrity.  Sometimes though, you have a case on someone who you strongly believe is abusing the system for their own gain, for no other purpose than the fact that they are simply too greedy or too lazy and don't mind stealing money from an insurance company.  Most of the time we don't find out what happens to these people either after our part in the investigation is over, but every once in a while, you get a little bit of satisfaction in learning that there is a chance that the person may be held accountable for their actions.
The below article is proof that surveillance can make a difference, and that some fraud is prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and it is very satisfying to know that your agency was responsible for helping to make it possible.
