At Red Dragon Private Investigations, we specialise in corporate surveillance and fraud detection, including workplace injury claim investigations. While many claims are legitimate, some employees may exaggerate injuries, falsify claims, or continue working elsewhere while receiving compensation. If you suspect a fraudulent claim, we can provide legally obtained, court-admissible evidence to help you protect your business, reduce unnecessary payouts, and ensure fair treatment for all employees.
Why Hire a Private Investigator for Workplace Injury Claims?
UK employment law requires strong, documented evidence before an employer can take disciplinary action or challenge an injury claim. Our investigations help to:
- Identify fraudulent or exaggerated injury claims.
- Provide visual evidence of an employee’s real physical capabilities.
- Prevent unnecessary payouts and protect company finances.
- Ensure compliance with HR and legal procedures.
How to Get Started
To begin, we will need:
- A written instruction outlining your concerns about the claim.
- Details of the employee’s injury, behaviour, and suspected fraud.
- A clear objective—whether you need evidence to challenge a claim or support legal proceedings.
We ensure that our investigation remains focused and compliant with employment law, avoiding unnecessary scrutiny into unrelated matters.
How Long Does a Workplace Injury Investigation Take?
The more precise your brief, the quicker we can provide results. Most cases are resolved within days rather than weeks, depending on the complexity of the claim.
Before starting, we will agree on a budget, ensuring transparency and avoiding unexpected costs.
What Will You Receive?
At the conclusion of the investigation, you will receive:
- Court-admissible evidence, including video or photographic surveillance where applicable.
- A legally compliant report detailing the employee’s activities.
- A structured summary allowing you to take informed action with confidence.
How Much Does an Investigation Cost?
- Our standard rate is £95 per hour per investigator, plus expenses.
- A cost estimate will be agreed upon before starting, ensuring complete transparency.
