Instructed by an Australian law firm who had strong doubts about a claim that had been put in by an English claimant living in Yorkshire, who had been injured on a train in New South Wales, and they had been curious as to the truth of her statement. As a result, they instructed us to undertake two days of surveillance to see what her movements were. We undertook surveillance of the claimant and were in possession of her Witness Statement from the Australian law firm, which stated that she was having trouble walking and was unable to get out of her house without the help of a wheelchair.
We undertook surveillance for two days, recording the claimant walking up the street and moving about freely, and clearly not having the difficulties she claimed to be in her Witness Statement.
With the work that we undertook, the Australian defendants were able to reduce their offer to her before trial, and the case settled at substantially lower than would otherwise have been the case.
This was a fun case, as the claimant lived on a very busy street with no parking, and we had to be very careful not to get spotted. Read the paper a lot!
The joys of private investigation work - lots of hanging around, waiting for a few moments of filming opportunities to assist the client.
