Corinthian Group is always prepared to assign the appropriate investigator, with the required surveillance equipment and vehicle on any particular case.

WORKERS COMPENSATIONS LAWS

Defense Attorneys, Employers, Claims Adjusters/TPA, and self-insurers utilize Workers' Compensation fraud investigation services to assist in identifying and obtaining admissible evidence to refute and or mitigate fraudulent claims.

Each state has their own workers compensation laws, which was established to protect employees who sustained injuries as a result of work performed while employed by a specific employer or that occurred during the course of employment (AOE/COE = Arising Out of Employment & in the Course Of Employment). However, the Workers Compensation Laws are often misused by employees who in one way or another are fraudulently receiving unwarranted compensation. Federal employees are entitled to 2/3 of their monthly salaries when out on disability and even more if they can prove their injury is permanent. Workers compensation fraud costs taxpayers 60 billion dollars every year. In California, many businesses have left the state because of increased workers compensation premiums for their employees due to enormous fraud. Many businesses have moved to tax & business friendly Nevada. California is hurting financially and the mass exodus of jobs to Nevada is not helping… From increased fees to the employer down to increased taxes & loss of jobs to the taxpayers, fraud affects everyone! It is the responsibility of employers to investigate each individual case to so that they don't become victims of fraud...

Employees will often seek and obtain full or part time "under the table" jobs where they can earn cash or additional income in an attempt to avoid discovery. It is quite easy for a claimant to sustain or even increase their standard of living with part time employment and a guaranteed disability paycheck. These individuals truly believe in "working smarter and not harder", at the expense of others…

Here are just a few benefits to claimants on disability:

Receiving a portion of their monthly income while at home.
Receiving medical treatment for injuries that may or may have not been sustained by their current employer.
The potential to obtain additional revenue from other income sources and or job training in an alternate career path.
More time with family and friends.
Extended vacation, with a possible paid vacation in the future…
A large pay day if they can successfully milk the injury and the system unimpeded.

Claimant's have very little incentive to return to work when employers allow claims to go uninvestigated. However, if while conducting a workers compensation investigation investigators discovery evidence that proves the claimant/injured party is no longer injured and can return to work in a productive manner, workers compensation benefits can then be terminated.

In our experience, we have learned that the vast majority of injuries are real and have taken place as the claimant indicated. However, the majority of these claimants exaggerate the severity of their injuries. Thus, many employers & taxpayers have unknowingly funded a healed claimant's lifestyle and extended vacation. Corinthian Group investigations will frequently reveal claimants that have not been dishonest about the severity of the injuries, determine if they are working somewhere else and obtain the irrefutable evidence needed. If there is not enough sufficient evidence to send to the District Attorney for a fraud case, our investigative efforts will no doubt get them to return to work sooner rather than later…

An integral facet of the claims investigation process is the conducting of interviews relating to AOE/COE ("Arising Out of Employment or in the Course of Employment") investigations. However, we have noticed that some investigators who specialize in AOE/COE fail to fully obtain important information that could be used in the future as evidence in building a fraud case for prosecution and or fail to provide basic information that would be useful to the investigators who might be contracted to conduct surveillance.

Corinthian Group utilizes experienced and highly trained investigative professionals to insure that our clients receive a thorough and information laden AOE/COE investigative report. Our AOE/COE investigators either have experience in surveillance and or have experience in building fraud cases for prosecution. We believe that both experiences are necessary for optimal claims mitigation. Our 1^st objective is to make sure that the Defense Attorney has every bit of potential evidence that could be used to mitigate the claim at the initial deposition. Our 2^nd objective is to make sure that the surveillance investigators as well as everyone involved in an individual case have any and all relevant personal information (verified whenever possible). Our 3^rd objective is to strategically ask important questions during the interview that could be used as potential evidence in proving fraud.

When a competent investigator has the opportunity to manage a claims case from beginning to end and also has the experience to manage each case with short term & long term goals in mind, the overall efficiency of everyone involved in the case will ultimately skyrocket...

FLAT RATE FEES

For high volume clientele we offer Flat Rate Surveillance Fees. CORINTHIAN GROUP can create a cost efficient rate plan according to the type of cases, location of cases and average volume of case load supplied to our firm on a monthly/yearly basis. These services are designed to assist clients in their attempts to effectively budget their surveillance investigations to reduce incidental but costly expenses. Below is a sample our a Flat Rate schedule that includes costs for report preparation, drive time to and from the case (cases not exceeding 5 hours round trip) and mileage (cases not exceeding 300 round trip miles per day). Also included is 1 copy of video tape evidence on (VHS, CD or DVD) and other mandatory administrative costs associated with the investigation and management of claims cases. This service excludes all necessary out of town Lodging expenses and/or out of pocket expenses incurred during a field investigation.

Sample Flat Rate Fee Schedule:

CLAIMS MANAGEMENT

Case Monitor is our web based "paperless" case management system that allows us to help our clients to become more efficient and their business more profitable. It is not in our client's best interest to charge unnecessary fees which could have been prevented if the necessary due diligence measures were in place. Defense Attorney's are very busy individuals and Case Monitor will allow them access to all the evidence to be viewed at their leisure and discretion. We all understand that time is money; therefore Case Monitor will be just 1 of the vital resources that will increase your overall success and efficiency.

RUSH CASES - One of the many features Case Monitor offers our clients is the ability to be notified in advance (generally 2 weeks) when evidence may be needed for an upcoming deposition, mediation or trial. This allows the client and Corinthian Group to request additional surveillance hours to obtain the needed evidence and get the evidence to the requested destination(s) in a timely manner. However, there will be times when the client's office personnel have not properly calendared important dates and or meetings. In such cases, Case Monitor saves our clients unnecessary fees by allowing them to retrieve the video evidence and or reports/updates from off our secured website free of charge. However, there still may be times when a rush surveillance is requested 1-3 days before an upcoming deposition. In these cases, Corinthian Group will expeditiously conduct the surveillance, upload the evidence to Case Monitor and the client can save the expenses of having evidence hand delivered by downloading the evidence themselves and burning it to the appropriate media. Corinthian Charges only charges our hourly rate/Flat Fee when we download & upload the video to the Case Monitor sites saving hundreds of dollars in unnecessary fees per case.

It would obviously be more profitable to continue charging our clients to hand deliver video evidence when things fall through the cracks, but we believe that it is more honorable to do what is needed and not what is self-serving.

Our training addresses new legislation which may impact how investigators conduct an investigation to advanced techniques used during multi-investigator surveillance operations.

Investigator Retention

Corinthian Group has a successful track record of retaining our investigators because of the healthy work relationships that are fostered from all levels of management. Therefore, Corinthian Group won't encounter problems trying to locate investigators when the case goes to trial. Our Investigative Technicians are the heart of our firm. They must sacrifice so much of their personal time to insure that each case has been diligently investigated. We respect that sacrifice, encourage personal growth and reward them for their efforts.
