If you suspect that the insurance company has hired a private investigator to watch you, it’s important to always behave as though someone is observing your actions. Surveillance is often used strategically—they may watch for hours just to capture a few seconds of footage they can use to argue that you’re healthier than you claim, exaggerating symptoms, or no longer entitled to benefits. Reviewing guidance on how insurers may monitor injured workers or situations where insurers pressure claimants can help you better understand these tactics. Above all, consistently act in a manner that aligns with your medical restrictions. If you’re unsure how surveillance might affect your case, consulting a trusted Rhode Island workers comp attorney can help, and our RI workers’ comp benefits provides more guidance on navigating insurance company strategies.
