Insurance fraud is one of the most important issues facing insurance companies. Staged accidents, false reports, and altering documents can all lead to insurance companies losing money and resources. One way to prevent this large expenditure of resources is to hire private investigators to look into potentially fraudulent claims. PI’s can find the information insurance companies need without using the company’s resources. Read below to learn about the ways that private investigators can help insurance companies investigate fraudulent claims.
Interviewing Involved Parties
Private investigators are highly skilled at conducting interviews to find out important information. They can interview the person suspected of committing fraud to discover discrepancies in their story. A PI can re-interview witnesses to uncover new information that might invalidate the story. Private investigators are also highly skilled at tracking down witnesses, so they will often find new witnesses that hold key information that were not previously discovered. Through skilled interviews, private investigators can help disprove false claims and gather important evidence.
Examining Documents
Private investigators are trained to carefully look through documents to discover key information. They will be able to look for any discrepancies in paperwork that might indicate fraud. They will also be able to identify false or forged documents to prove fraud. Private investigators are highly skilled at studying even the most complex documents and using them to discover important information that insurance companies can use to prove fraudulent claims.
Conducting Surveillance
One of the best advantages of private investigators is their ability to conduct surveillance. PI’s are highly trained to follow their targets quietly and effectively. Insurance companies can use private investigators to follow people suspected of filing fraudulent claims to gather evidence. They can also follow any witnesses to find out if they have contact with the suspect. For high profile or especially lucrative cases, surveillance might be the best way to find out a suspect’s motives and whether or not they are telling the truth.
Compiling Evidence for Court
Private investigators are trained not only to gather valuable information, but also to follow the letter of the law to ensure that all evidence they gather is admissible in court. If an insurance company suspects fraud, they will probably want to take the fraudulent filer to court. In order to take them to court, they will need proper evidence. Private investigators can gather the information you need and ensure that the information can be used in court to help bring the suspect to justice.
