Why Subrosa Investigations Are Essential

Our Approach to Subrosa Investigations
Before surveillance begins, we conduct a detailed review of the claim background to understand objectives, reported injury details, and any inconsistencies noted by claims adjusters or SIU teams. This pre-surveillance planning allows our subrosa surveillance investigators to review known locations, confirm access points, verify vehicle associations, and identify optimal time windows when activity is most likely to occur. This preparation helps position surveillance effectively and anticipate behaviors that may indicate injury fraud or misrepresentation.
During the subrosa investigation, we rely on structured observation techniques to track movement, document activity patterns, and recognize changes in daily routines that may require adjustments to the plan. Our investigators maintain continuity across observation periods, record timeline-specific details, and preserve context around each event. This disciplined approach supports behavioral consistency analysis and ensures insurers receive clear, reliable insight into claimant behavior throughout the investigative process.
All subrosa investigations are conducted lawfully, respectfully, and in accordance with industry standards and applicable privacy requirements, ensuring responsible handling of sensitive claim activity.
