A Business Had Serious Concerns
Injured Employee Completing Heavy Manual Labour. A local Essex business contacted Private Investigator Essex after becoming concerned about an employee on long-term injury leave. The employee reported they could not carry out normal work duties. However, information received by the employer suggested a different story.
Rather than acting on rumours, the business wanted reliable Evidence to a Court Standard before taking any further action.
Concerns About the Injury Claim
The employee stated they were unable to perform physical tasks. As a result, they remained absent from work for several weeks. During that time, colleagues reported seeing the employee carrying out demanding activities elsewhere.
Although these reports raised questions, the employer needed independent evidence. Therefore, they instructed our experienced investigators to carry out discreet surveillance.
Planning the Investigation
Our team held a confidential consultation with the client. We reviewed the available information and identified the best times to conduct surveillance.
Every detail was carefully planned. Consequently, investigators were in position before the employee began their daily activities.
Discreet Surveillance
The investigation took place over several days in Essex. Investigators followed the subject while remaining completely discreet.
During the surveillance, the employee was seen carrying heavy building materials. They repeatedly lifted large items into a vehicle without assistance. They also loaded and unloaded equipment throughout the day.
Furthermore, investigators observed the employee bending, carrying, and moving objects that appeared inconsistent with the reported injury.
Evidence to a Court Standard
Our investigators documented every significant activity. They produced detailed surveillance logs with accurate times and locations. High-quality photographs also supported the observations.
As a result, the employer received Evidence to a Court Standard showing the employee carrying out heavy manual labour despite claiming they were unable to work.
Supporting an Informed Decision
The completed report allowed the employer to review the facts with confidence. Rather than relying on speculation, they had professional evidence to support their next steps.
The investigation also helped the business protect its interests while ensuring any decisions were based on verified information.
