Medical Malpractice
Auto Personal Injury
Auto Personal Injury
The plaintiff suffered a serious neck and back spinal injury. After corrective surgical procedure, the plaintiff sued the doctors for Medical Malpractice (7 figures), stating he was unable to get out of bed without the assistance of his wife, and was immobile without the use of a walker.
The plaintiff was observed on multiple occasions physically mobile, driving a vehicle and active without the use of a walker, cane or assistance of another person.
Throughout the investigation, the plaintiff was observed reaching, extending, lifting objects, loading a bicycle in and out of his vehicle, engaged as a soccer referee, and even joined a hiking club where he wore a water bladder walking traversing dirt trails. The subject routinely demonstrated strength, mobility and dexterity.
Based on the evidence garnered throughout the investigation, the case was settled without payment to the plaintiff.
Auto Personal Injury
Auto Personal Injury
Auto Personal Injury
The plaintiff and his wife were injured in an auto accident involving the delivery truck for a large company. The wife settled her case in the high 6 figures, the week before LSIS was contracted on the case. The husband was demanding $2 million in compensation for allegedly losing his business due to his head, neck, back and soft tissue injury.
Our investigation revealed the plaintiff would walk outside his residence with a cane, look around, then return into his residence. Shortly after, the plaintiff would carry out golf clubs and proceed in his vehicle to a golf course with his wife.
Our investigator brought his golf clubs with his camera and tripod to the driving range, then video recorded the plaintiff and his recently "injured" wife hitting golf balls for a couple hours. Both the husband and wife demonstrated strength, mobility and dexterity with a full range of motion.
Our investigation limited the carrier's liability to the plaintiffs medical expenses. The only regret the carrier had was NOT hiring LSIS more quickly due to the large settlement for the wife.
Workers' Compensation
Auto Personal Injury
Workers' Compensation
The Claimant allegedly suffered from an unobserved slip & fall injury off a warehouse dock.
Our investigation revealed, utilizing covert cameras, that the Claimant was working under the table for a Vending Truck company while he was being paid workers' compensation benefits to stay home and rehabilitate.
The Claimant worked at the industrial shaved ice machine, shoveling ice into 70 pound bags. After filling and loading roughly 16 bags on a dolly, he would take them to a freezer room for storage, then return to the ice machine and repeat the process.
The Claimant demonstrated strength, mobility and dexterity with a full range of motion. His claim & benefits were immediately contested based on the reports and video recorded evidence that covered several weeks of surveillance.
