A claimant's account and a doctor's notes only go so far. Surveillance documents what someone does on an ordinary day: going to work, running errands, driving, lifting. We record it discreetly and objectively, deliver video and a written report your adjuster or defense attorney can use, and our investigator can testify to what was recorded.
Every assignment starts with listening to you and reviewing the claim details. We schedule surveillance for the times the claimant is most likely to be out and about, going to work or running errands, so we can capture their true day-to-day activities.
Tell us about the claim, including any upcoming exams or hearings. We listen first, then tell you honestly whether surveillance is likely to help.
We confirm addresses, vehicles, and routines, then schedule surveillance for the days and times the claimant is most likely to be out and active.
Licensed investigators document activities on video from public places, without contact, trespass, or pretext.
You receive the video and a written report. When the case calls for it, our investigator testifies at deposition or before the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board.
As workers’ comp private investigators, we work for insurance companies, third-party administrators, self-insured employers, and defense attorneys. Many claimants live in one city and work or see doctors in another, so we follow the case wherever it goes, from Beverly Hills and Century City to West Hollywood and the rest of Los Angeles County.
The Westside brings its own challenges: underground garages, buildings with several exits, and residential streets where parking is tightly restricted. We plan each assignment around the claimant’s actual routine so investigators are in the right place without being noticed. For other kinds of cases, see our surveillance investigations.
Discreet video of a claimant's everyday activities, like going to work or running errands, recorded from public places.
The investigator who recorded the video can authenticate it and testify at deposition or before the WCAB when your case calls for it.
A represented claimant reported injuries to his neck, back, and upper extremities and said he couldn't work. His former employer heard he was working for someone else. We followed him and filmed him doing the same job: in and out of a work van, lifting equipment and ductwork. The claim was resolved with no settlement paid.
Many claims like this never become fraud cases. The result that matters is often quieter: clear video gives the carrier and defense attorney what they need to resolve the claim on the facts instead of paying a settlement.

Sub rosa is Latin for “under the rose,” meaning in confidence. In workers’ comp, it’s surveillance of a claimant done without their knowledge, from public places, to document their true day-to-day activities.
Yes, when it’s done lawfully. California Civil Code section 1708.8 recognizes surveillance conducted to investigate suspected fraud, based on an articulable suspicion of wrongdoing. That’s why every assignment starts with the facts that raised the suspicion, and why we only record what anyone could see from a public place.
Usually close to a medical exam, deposition, or settlement conference, so the video reflects the claimant’s condition at that point in the case. Footage recorded long before an exam can carry less weight.
Yes. The investigator who recorded the video can authenticate it and testify at deposition or before the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board when the case calls for it.
Because the stakes change. Once a claimant describes their limitations under oath, video of their everyday activities recorded afterward can be compared directly with that sworn testimony, not just an informal complaint. That comparison is often the strongest evidence a defense attorney or SIU can have.
No. An insurer’s special investigations unit (SIU) can refer a claim for fraud when it reasonably believes fraud has occurred, and clear video that contradicts what a claimant has said helps establish that belief. Whether charges follow is up to prosecutors. Even when they don’t, the video often gives the carrier and defense attorney what they need to resolve the claim on the facts, sometimes without any settlement at all.
The claimant’s name and addresses, a recent photo if you have one, vehicle information, the claim details, and any upcoming appointments or hearing dates.
Yes. Our office is at 8484 Wilshire Blvd #515 in Beverly Hills, and we follow claimants wherever the case takes us across Los Angeles County.
Tell us about the claim, and we’ll tell you honestly whether surveillance can help.
