Surveillance is a tool that is often used by insurance companies and their attorneys to see if the injured claimant is being truthful about the extent of injuries. Typically an investigator will use a camera or video equipment. The claimant is followed to see what they are doing when away from the scrutiny of lawyers and insurance adjusters.
If the injured party has exaggerated the extent of injuries, or flat our lied, a surveillance can destroy their case.
On the other hand, a surveillance can confirm that they are being truthful and this can actually lead to a settlement , since the insurance company has been satisfied that the claims are legitimate..
