In this article: Workers compensation investigations verify whether an injured worker’s activities match the claimed restrictions. Ohio Security & Investigations helps employers, third party administrators, and attorneys in the Mahoning Valley.
Most workers compensation claims are legitimate, and injured employees deserve the benefits Ohio law provides. When a claim does not add up, however, employers and their representatives need facts. Ohio Security & Investigations conducts workers compensation investigations throughout Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley with fairness and accuracy.
Red Flags Employers Notice
Common concerns include an injury reported right after discipline or a layoff notice, inconsistent accounts of how the injury happened, tips that the worker is employed elsewhere, or social media showing heavy activity. These signs do not prove fraud, but they justify a closer look.
How We Investigate
We conduct lawful surveillance to document whether daily activities are consistent with medical restrictions, perform activity checks and records research, and look for evidence of employment elsewhere. Our reports stay objective and describe exactly what was observed.
Working Within the Ohio System
Ohio workers compensation is administered through the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation and self insured employers. Our findings can be shared with your claims representative, managed care organization, or attorney to support the right outcome for the claim.
Confidential Consultations
Every case at Ohio Security & Investigations begins with a confidential conversation. We listen to your concerns, explain what an investigation can and cannot accomplish under Ohio law, and recommend a plan that fits your goals and budget. You stay informed throughout the case, and your information is never shared without your permission.
