Private Investigator Uncovers Fraudulent Compensation Claim After Traffic Accident in Aragón

An insurance company based in Aragón contacted R&P Detectives Asociados in order to get a private investigator after receiving a claim for physical injuries from a driver involved in a minor road traffic accident. The medical report stated serious cervical injuries, requiring prolonged rehabilitation and several weeks of sick leave, which significantly increased the compensation amount.

The insurer, surprised by the severity of the alleged injuries given the nature of the impact — a low-speed collision at a pedestrian crossing — requested an investigation to verify the truthfulness of the injuries claimed as a result of the accident.

A thorough surveillance operation was launched to monitor the claimant’s daily movements. On the third day of surveillance, he was observed carrying heavy shopping bags, doing DIY tasks, and riding a motorbike, without showing any signs of discomfort or physical limitation. Furthermore, on one of the surveillance days, the individual attended a sports event outside his home city in Aragón, which lasted several hours, during which he remained standing and actively interacted with other attendees.

The compiled report, supported by images, videos, and a detailed timeline of his activities, was submitted to the insurer’s legal team, who successfully dismissed the traffic accident claim, preventing a fraudulent payout. In this case, the intervention of our private investigators, specialised in insurance fraud, helped protect the company from a premeditated scam, demonstrating how injury feigning can be exposed through precise and professional investigation.
