Spring Into Action: Why Now is the Best Time for Workers’ Compensation Investigations

As the chill of winter fades and spring takes hold, people naturally become more active—spending time outdoors, tackling home improvement projects, and enjoying social events. For Larkins Investigations, this seasonal shift presents a golden opportunity to launch workers' compensation investigations.

If your business is paying out on a suspicious claim, now is the best time to act. Warmer weather means more public activity, making it easier to uncover fraud and protect your bottom line.

Spring Provides the Best Conditions for Investigations

Winter often limits an investigator’s ability to track a subject’s movements, as many injured individuals stay indoors. But as soon as spring arrives:

• Claimants start engaging in more physical activities—walking, jogging, gardening, or playing recreational sports.
• Surveillance becomes more effective—longer daylight hours and better weather allow investigators to document activities more clearly.
• Social media use increases—vacations, spring sports, and outdoor adventures often lead to public posts that may contradict a claimant’s injury report.

Common Red Flags in Workers' Compensation Claims

At Larkins Investigations, we specialize in identifying fraudulent claims by observing inconsistencies between reported injuries and real-world behavior. In the spring, these red flags become more apparent:

• A claimant who reported limited mobility seen hiking or attending a crowded outdoor event.
• An individual with a back injury spotted carrying heavy bags, climbing ladders, lifting furniture, or doing yard work.
• A worker claiming shoulder pain posting photos of a golf outing or a fishing trip.

Protect Your Business from Fraudulent Claims

Fraudulent workers' compensation claims cost businesses and insurers millions of dollars every year. By starting your investigation now, you can:

• Identify fraudulent claims early before they lead to long-term claims.
• Gather strong video and photographic evidence to show the truth.
• Save your company money by preventing unnecessary insurance costs.
