What Does an Insurance Claims Investigator Do?

Posted on July 29, 2021 by She Spies Private Eye

Did you know insurance fraud is a billion-dollar industry that costs the U.S. billions of dollars every day? Millions of criminals bypass the law and falsely receive cash settlements from insurance companies every year.

To combat this rise of insurance fraud, insurance claims investigators get to work. They analyze and dig into the validity of insurance claims to protect their employers. Here’s how:

Research Existing Claims

If you ever filed a claim with an insurance company, an insurance claims investigator has reviewed it to ensure that fraud wasn’t present.

Social Media Analysis

Social media is a tool insurance claims investigators use to dissect fraudulent insurance claims. Whether the criminal has posted videos of themselves running after claiming a serious leg injury or bragging about their fraud in public posts, there are tons of amount of people who incriminate themselves every day on social media.

Pry Into Personal Information

Insurance companies are meticulous when awarding cash settlements to customers and the claims investigators are trusted to dig up any suspicious personal background information to determine if fraud has been committed by the claimant.

Partner with Private Investigators

When a suspicious individual warrants a further investigation, insurance claims investigators can employ a private investigator to help them with their case.

Insurance claims investigators are vital to insurance companies, and their success can save the country billions. If you’ve been injured and are contacted by an investigator, speak with an attorney before making any statements.

How Do Most Affairs Start?

Posted on July 29, 2021 by She Spies Private Eye

An affair doesn’t usually “just happen.” It usually begins long before the two individuals even meet, when marital issues are becoming too much to bear.

When negative feelings are kept inside or the fear of conflict outweighs solutions, emotional distance is created. That distance can spark loneliness and an emptiness that needs to be filled. To fill the void, one partner may decide to confide in someone else, and as a result, emotional intimacy—and eventually physical intimacy—develops.

What Type of Person Gets Cheated on?

In a 2020 study, researchers wanted to see if there is a type of person that gets cheated on in relationships. Specifically, they were curious about aspects of a person’s personality that may make them more susceptible to having their partner or spouse have an affair.

Accounting for age, education, gender, race/ethnicity, and religiousness, they found:

  • Those who were less conscientious (i.e., more careless, less hard-working and organized) were more likely to have a partner cheat on them
  • Those who were more agreeable (i.e., more warm and helpful) were more likely to have their spouse commit infidelity.

This is no way an attempt to victim-blame you if you happen to be an agreeable or non-conscientious person and get cheated on. But it does provide some insight on a common marital issue. Ultimately, being more conscientious won’t guarantee your partner won’t cheat, but exuding greater responsibility, self-discipline, and helpfulness can benefit your relationship.

Is Your Marriage Vulnerable to an Affair?

Even though there is a “typical” profile for the victim of an affair, an even better predictor of one is loneliness and opportunity. Some strong marriages can be prone to affairs, when one partner grew up in a home or works in an environment where infidelity is the norm.  

Many people can find it in their hearts to forgive their spouse’s actions, but many other believe it’s a betrayal beyond forgiveness. If you believe your partner is having an affair, but need proof to know for sure, a private investigator can help you find it.
