Investigators face a serious challenge when an incident occurs: eyewitness memory recollection. There could be numerous eyewitnesses, any of which may hold potentially vital information about the perpetrators and incident itself. To address this issue, the Self-Administered Interview (SAI) was developed.
By definition, fraud is “a false representation of a matter of fact – whether by words or by conduct, by false or misleading allegations, or by concealment of what should have been disclosed – that deceives and is intended to deceive another so that the individual will act upon it to her or his alleged injury for benefit.” With insurance fraud costing companies billions of dollars each year, it’s necessary to have professional investigators reviewing each case for potential fraud. Claimants that abuse the system will need to be prosecuted with solid evidence collected by an investigative team.
