Insurance Fraud Investigation
Our insurance fraud investigations identify deceptive claims across workers' compensation, general liability, and property casualty cases. Using advanced surveillance and evidence-gathering techniques, we provide detailed reports with video documentation to support legal and financial decisions. Clients benefit from our expertise in uncovering fraudulent activities while maintaining strict compliance with industry regulations.
Surveillance Services
Specialized surveillance operations track claimant activities through state-of-the-art technology and strategic observation. We deliver edited video footage and chronological logs to substantiate findings, ensuring admissible evidence for legal proceedings. Our investigators adhere to ethical standards while maintaining discretion during all monitoring assignments.
Workers Compensation
Targeted investigations address fraudulent workers' compensation claims by verifying injury legitimacy and employment-related incidents. We analyze medical records, conduct site visits, and interview witnesses to determine claim validity. Our findings help insurers and employers mitigate financial losses from false workplace injury reports.
General Liability
Comprehensive liability claim assessments evaluate the authenticity of alleged incidents causing property damage or bodily harm. Our team investigates accident circumstances, collects witness statements, and reviews documentation to determine claim legitimacy for insurers and legal counsel.
Subrogation
Subrogation services help clients recover financial losses from third parties responsible for insured damages. We conduct thorough investigations to establish liability, gather supporting evidence, and facilitate legal recovery processes while maintaining detailed documentation for court proceedings.

I had a bad experience with this company. I highly discourage anyone from conducting business with Blue Eagle Investigations or purchasing one of their franchises.

We have worked with Blue Eagle in our investigations and find them to be highly professional and prompt with communications. Dan Lane is always prompt to return calls and is very knowledgeable about every aspect of the investigation and says it truthfully. We highly recommend.
