Insurance


W.I.S. has been providing investigative services to the insurance industry since our inception in 1994. We specialize in assisting adjusters with both first party and third party insurance claims, by reducing their exposure to fraudulent or exaggerated bodily injury claims. When looking to uncover the truth in these cases, the best way is to obtain indisputable video and photographic evidence. At W.I.S., we specialize in video surveillance, paying special attention to the specific injury in question. Our experienced team of investigators is highly trained to focus on the injury and to secure video at every available opportunity, be it indoor or outdoor. Studies have proven that video surveillance is the most effective form of proof for fighting false claims.


WSIB FRAUD

Examples of possible offences that can be committed by a worker include: falsely claiming that an injury is work related, misrepresenting the level of impairment to receive WSIB benefits, and working and receiving income while receiving WSIB benefits.

Persons who commit a fraud exceeding a value of $5,000 can be sentenced to imprisonment for up to 10 years. Penalties may also include fines, probation, and/or an order to pay full restitution.



VIDEO SURVEILLANCE

At W.I.S., we utilize sophisticated techniques that combine state-of-the-art surveillance equipment with proven methods. Our discreet team of male and female investigators is experienced in conducting mobile, on-site and covert surveillance.

As the owners, we oversee every file from beginning to end. Unlike other firms who assign a file to one investigator who is responsible for the file and expected to complete it alone, we select the most suitable investigator to handle the file each day based on changing circumstances. We also set a surveillance schedule that is most advantageous for the file. In addition, we have the ability to exchange investigators and surveillance units during the course of surveillance or to send an additional investigator to assist when required. We, the owners, are in constant communication with our investigators throughout the investigation.
Furthermore, we provide a complete surveillance program supported by secured video film, still photographs and a detailed narrative report. All of our video, including indoor film, includes a date and time stamp and is recorded in digital format. For more information or to request a sample report and DVD, please contact us.
