Case Result 2: Port a John Cleaner Smells of Fraud...
Surveillance Assignment Objective: Is the Claimant working and what are his life activity restrictions after injuring his back on the job?
The policy holder suspects his employee is working for a competitor cleaning outdoor toilet units. The nature of the port-a-john business is to clean out units very early in the morning prior to the start of the routine work day. This particular Claimant began his day at 3:30 AM making several stops to suck clean the unit tanks. On the same day of this surveillance, the Claimant had a 10:30 AM appearance/hearing before the Worker's Compensation (WC) Court! Much to the Claimant's and his Counsel's surprise, real time surveillance video, along with the investigator, presented this evidence to the Judge. The results for the WC carrier were amazing whilst the Claimant's fraudulent activity is being prosecuted.
