Social Media Surveillance
25
Workers’ compensation fraud costs approximately $7.2 billion per year according to the Workers’ Compensation Crime Bureau. With so much at stake, workers’ compensation insurers are often motivated to curb instances of fraud by any ethical – or unethical – means necessary.
Social media surveillance has become a staple in identifying potential fraud by securing information, photos and conversations by or about individuals that file workers’ compensation claims. For example, a worker may file a claim for a back injury resulting from a slip and fall on the job, but then post something about working at a second job. Or, an employee with an eye injury claim posts details about their day on the tennis court.
And while investigators efforts have increasingly included social media surveillance to identify potential fraud, workers and their attorneys have become savvier in hiding evidence that would tend to disprove or raise questions about the validity of a claim.
In addition, employers who make use of social media to find evidence of fraud may be at risk of having the evidence used against them in court if they fail to follow some basic rules to avoid claims of invasion of privacy.
I am an expert in the guidelines that need be followed to avoid an invasion of privacy claim. If you need evidence to back a claim and don't have the dollars to pay a law firm to do this research for you then I am your guy!
