Injury Fraud Investigations

False or exaggerated injury claims cost insurers, employers, and legal professionals millions each year.

At Strand Investigations, we specialise in injury fraud investigations that uncover dishonest claims and protect your organisation from financial and reputational harm. Our investigators operate across Hampshire, Portsmouth, and the Isle of Wight, delivering clear, admissible evidence through lawful surveillance and intelligence gathering.

Types of Injury Fraud We Investigate

Injury fraud can take many forms – from staged accidents to exaggerated recovery periods. We gather time-stamped video, photographic evidence, and verified reports to confirm or refute a claimant’s version of events.

Common fraud investigations include:

  • Personal injury and workplace accident claims
  • Motor insurance fraud and staged collisions
  • Long-term sick leave and exaggerated medical conditions
  • Claims with conflicting or inconsistent evidence
  • Pre-existing injuries presented as new

By combining open-source research with targeted surveillance, we can identify patterns and behaviours that help validate or disprove the legitimacy of a claim.
