Warrant Investigations is a full service investigative
agency. We specialize in the investigation of workers compensation claims.
Since 1991, we have successfully investigated almost 8,000
claims of this
nature. We are licensed and insured to conduct all phases of both civil
and criminal matters. If you desire short-term or long-term
surveillance
in either a workers compensation matter or a civil matter, we can accommodate
your needs. Our investigators have expertise in taking
detailed statements
(both summarized and recorded), and routinely investigate AOE/COE matters.

SUBROSA-SURVEILLANCE INVESTIGATIONS
We conduct surveillance of workers compensation claimants or individuals
who are the subject in a civil matter. The time and length of surveillance
varies in each matter. Usually, a minimum of 4 hours is required. We
can accommodate long-term (several days to weeks) needs. During
surveillance,
the claimant or individual’s activities are documented in written
form and recorded by videotape. After we complete an assignment, you
are provided with an in-depth written report and a DVD or VHS copy
of videotape of the individual’s activities.

AOE/COE INVESTIGATIONS
This is the investigation of a workers compensation claim to determine
if the injury alleged "Arose out of employment and during the
course of employment." Normally, our investigators will interview
the injured worker and take their statement as to the injury. We also
interview other potential witnesses such as coworkers, supervisors,
eye-witnesses and other relevant individuals. A detailed written report
is forwarded to our clients. Normally, we conduct these investigations
in a manner that they fall under the Attorney/Client work-product privilege.

SERIOUS AND WILLFUL INVESTIGATIONS
In some workers compensation matters a claimant, usually through his attorney, will allege that the employer allowed, tolerated or failed to prevent an unsafe working environment. A petition is filed with the workers compensation appeals board alleging this conduct. Our investigative scope in these matters is to fully investigate the claimant’s allegations. We seek out witness statements and other relevant evidence in defense of the employer. This type of investigation is similar to an AOE/COE investigation—however; our investigative scope usually is directed towards the investigation of the claimant’s contention of the serious and willful condition or situation.

FRAUD INVESTIGATION
When we are assigned a workers compensation claim we constantly are reviewing the claim for possible violations of state or federal law. In some cases, a claimant may be committing certain acts in violation of criminal and or civil statutes. When evidence of a crime is detected, we professionally gather evidence in such a manner that a criminal case may be presented for criminal or civil prosecution. In some cases our clients assign us the claim with pre-knowledge that the claimant may be committing fraud. Our assignment is to document the claimant’s fraudulent activities. We are expected to completely investigate the allegations. We gather evidence (verbal, written and video) on behalf of our client.

DISCRIMINATION INVESTIGATIONS
On occasion a claimant may contend that he or she was discriminated against by his employer. In these investigations the word or term "discrimination" usually refers to the claimant’s contention that an employer discriminated against him because of his injury, condition or disability. It is our task to investigate the claimant’s allegations on behalf of the employer. We interview witnesses and gather evidence in defense of the employer.

BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS
When an employer is seeking to hire an employee for a sensitive or important
position within their company they may wish to verify the claimant's
stated background. Often job applicants embellish on their backgrounds
of work history, family history or criminal or civil involvements. Our
task in these types of investigations is to verify the information provided
by the job applicant. We may conduct interviews, search databases and
research criminal and civil courts records.

CRIMINAL/CIVIL INVESTIGATIONS
We offer our expertise in investigating all types of criminal and civil violations. Most of our investigators have law enforcement backgrounds. Their familiarity with penal code sections and civil sections are an asset. Since our investigators have presented hundreds if not thousands of criminal cases for prosecution, our experience in this area is of great importance.

ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION INVESTIGATIONS
If someone is involved in a traffic accident where there is damage or injuries, sometimes the person may be cited by law enforcement for alleged violations of the vehicle code. Also, the investigating police officer may allege in his written report that you were "at fault" for the accident. If this is the case, you may be liable for civil or criminal penalties. We are affiliated with former traffic accident investigators who are qualified experts in the "reconstruction of an accident." Their reevaluation of the accident can help you in defense of civil or criminal allegations.
