What We Investigate - Common Types of Workers' Compensation Fraud
Our licensed Sacramento private investigators employ advanced techniques, including surveillance, digital forensics, and witness interviews, to assess the validity of injury claims.
Inflated Injury Claims
Some people may overstate or misrepresent their injuries to stay on paid leave longer or receive higher benefits. Our Sacramento PIs collect photo and video evidence and review the claimant’s activities alongside medical records to see if everything matches.
Injuries Unrelated to Work
In some cases, the injury may not have happened at work. Our PIs in Sacramento review timelines, speak with witnesses, and look at available records to determine if the injury is actually connected to the workplace.
Working While Collecting Benefits
Another concern is when someone receives disability benefits while working another job. Our Sacramento private investigators document this activity carefully and provide evidence that can be used to support your case.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 5-Year Rule for Workers’ Compensation in Sacramento?
In Sacramento, the 5-year rule for workers’ compensation means a person has five years from the date of their workplace injury to reopen their workers’ compensation case. During this time, they can also request more benefits if their condition gets worse or if they need more medical treatment.
But after the five-year period ends, they might not be able to change or reopen their claim again. This is why it’s important for employers, insurers, and legal teams to keep track of claim timelines and documentation. If you have concerns about a claim, call Bonnington PI at (916) 936-7773 to discuss a workers’ compensation investigation in Sacramento.
What Signs Might Indicate a Questionable Workers’ Compensation Claim?
Here are some signs that can suggest a questionable workers’ compensation claim –
- Injury details that change over time
- Activities that don’t match the reported injury
- Missed medical appointments or treatment delays
- No witnesses to the workplace incident
If you notice one or more of these signs and the claim doesn’t seem right, you can call Bonnington PI at (916) 936-7773 for a professional workers’ compensation fraud investigation in Sacramento.
How Long Does a Workers’ Compensation Investigation Usually Take?
When you opt for a workers’ compensation investigation in Sacramento, it can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the details of your claim.

Can a Workers’ Compensation Claim be Investigated After it’s Approved?

Can Workers’ Compensation Fraud Affect Insurance Premiums?
Yes, workers’ compensation fraud can affect insurance premiums. When false or exaggerated claims are paid out, the costs often increase for businesses over time. You may see higher premiums because insurers adjust rates to cover those losses.
