Workers’ compensation surveillance is triggered by specific red flags in a claim. These include injuries reported on Monday mornings, inconsistent stories, no witnesses, and delayed reporting. A history of claims, difficulty contacting the claimant, or refusal of medical treatment also raise suspicion. Investigators look for these signs to combat fraud, which costs businesses billions. Understanding these triggers helps employers and insurers identify potentially fraudulent claims and initiate professional, legal surveillance to verify their legitimacy.

By the way, I love this show. I actually did not grow up on this show. For me, I loved the show the moment I heard the theme song. It’s awesome. In the handful of episodes I’ve watched, this show is a great time capsule.

Back in a time was when computers and social media weren’t a thing, you had to look “private detective” up in the Yellow Pages and make a phone call to him or visit him in person.

As soon as you start watching the show, you immediately fall into a time warp back to the 70s.
