Claimant – Plaintiff Profiles

What don’t you know about your Claimant-Plaintiff?

As soon as you have seen red flags or at the onset of litigation you need all the facts on your claimant or plaintiff.  Creating a baseline profile on the claimant/plaintiff will provide valuable insight into the validity of the claim and the credibility of the claimant/plaintiff. If you can develop credibility issues early on you can get the leverage you need to settle the claim more quickly and cost effectively.  Litigation is a costly endeavor.

When everyone on the claims team (Examiners, SIU & Attorneys) have a profile on the claimant/plaintiff they can make better decisions about where to look for medical records from a pre-existing injuries/conditions, when to set depositions, when and if surveillance should be conducted, etc.

We recommend that you conducting the following searches to uncover the background information that will give you the best possible profile of the claimant/plaintiff.

  • Verification of Identifiers (SSN, DOB, Address, Drivers’ License)
  • Driving Record
  • County Civil Search
  • County Criminal Search
  • Professional Licenses & Business Affiliation Search
  • Prior Claims Search
  • Social Media Search (FB, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn)
  • EDEX
  • Identify and profile plaintiff’s counsel
  • Asset & Liability Search

When you are working with an investigation firm it is crucial that they have access to all of these types of searches, understand the system of records in all jurisdictions and understand the context in which the searches should be conducted. A licensed private investigation firm will give you access to all of the above searches and more and insure that the information has been obtained in a legal and admissible manner.
