CBI Has The Capability To Function As Your Full Service SIU Department
SURVEILLANCE INVESTIGATION
- Surveillance of the Claimant is provided by CBI in order to document and videotape the Claimant's daily activities/abilities and determine if these activities/abilities are consistent with the claim or the Claimant's reported injury. All of the Claimant's activities, within the legal limits of state statutes, will be documented on videotape when possible.
PRE-SURVEILLANCE PROFILE
- A database report identifying a individual's name, date of birth, social security number, aliases, current address and telephone number (if available), possible relatives, neighbors, real property ownership, vehicle and vessel registration, bankruptcies, tax liens, judgments, UCC filings, possible criminal histories, parole and probation information, professional licensing, and possible corporate affiliations. This report is run either if 1) it is the first time that surveillance is being conducted on the claimant by CBI or 2) the last surveillance is over six months old.
LOCATE INVESTIGATION
