Difficult Personal Injury Case

As part of difficult personal injury case, O&O Investigations, Inc. was hired to determine whether the subject was over-exaggerating a back injury. As part of our pre-surveillance research, we ran database searches and determined that the subject’s address matched the address provided by the client. The subject resided in a small apartment near the beach. Our firm conducted surveillance on the subject’s address and never saw the subject. When we spoke to his neighbors, they explained that the subject is rarely home. In order to save our client money, we placed unmanned cameras to watch the subject’s residence for five days.  Unfortunately, the unmanned surveillance footage showed that the subject did not visit his residence at all during those five days.
 
Our client scheduled the subject’s deposition and we followed the subject from his deposition to the beachside apartment. Our investigators remained at the address until 9:00 p.m. and returned the next morning at 6:00 a.m. After a day of surveillance, we did not see the subject depart from his residence.  We decided to place one investigator on a bicycle on the boardwalk nearby and have one investigator remain at the residence.
 
On the fifth day of surveillance the subject was observed riding his bicycle on the boardwalk and our investigator followed the subject. Given the new evidence, we maintained one investigator on a bicycle and one in a vehicle during the following two days of surveillance. We witnessed the subject riding his bicycle for miles, performing front and back flips in the ocean, washing his trousers in the ocean, walking on a tightrope, fishing, carrying heavy buckets, and much more. Further, it was determined that the subject had been residing on the beach throughout the surveillance segment.
 
Ultimately, it was due to our creative surveillance methods that we were able to save our client millions of dollars.
