MIST Claims

Professional Investigative Group has put together a package just for MIST claims. Our investigators will take thorough photographs of the insured and claimant vehicles and provide an assessment of any damage. If the claimant vehicle is parked in a garage at night, we will locate the claimant’s place of employment and obtain discreet photographs. We obtain anywhere from 30-60 photos of a vehicle, immediately email two or three pertinent photos and send the entire set on a CD.

When conducting MIST recorded statements, we try to have the insured, claimant or witness rate the impact. One way to base the severity of the impact is to compare it to an amusement park ride. This often provides an accurate assessment of what the vehicle occupants felt.

When you assign a MIST claim to PIG, we will automatically perform the following services:

• Obtain initial crash report (if a report was completed)
• Identify all parties involved;
• Obtain vehicle photos of our insured vehicle;
• Obtain vehicle photos of the claimant vehicle;
• Witness statements

We have created a convenient online request form for this service in which you can request a complete MIST claim investigation or you can pick and choose specific item.

Activity Checks

An Activity Check can quickly assess whether the claimant’s actual daily activities are consistent with the alleged injury and disability. Discrepancies may warrant surveillance. If the claimant is active during an Activity Check, surveillance is immediately initiated.

A typical activity check can include:

• An initial four hours of on-site surveillance to determine if the claimant departs for work. This is generally conducted from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. If the claimant is activit, then surveillance is initiated. If the claimant is not active, we move onto the second phase, the neighborhood canvass.
• Neighborhood inquiries are conducted using a pre-generated questionnaire. Questions are designed to help the investigator gather insight into the claimant’s daily patterns and level of activity.

SPEED LIMIT VERIFICATION

Our investigators will verify and document any speed limit signs at or near a crash scene, up to a one mile radius. Digital photographs will be obtained and emailed.

INSURANCE SEARCH FAQ

Q: In which states can you do an auto insurance search?

A: Generally, just Florida. Unlike Florida, most states do not keep a driver’s insurance status on file. Florida has minimum insurance requirements.

Q: Can an auto insurance search be conducted if I only have a person's name?

A: No. In the state of Florida, insurance is connect to the vehicle, not the person. Meaning, it is possible to have a Florida driver’s license, but not have insurance. However, it is against the law to have a valid Florida tag and not have applicable insurance.

If you only have a name, a vehicle ownership search must first be conducted to determine if the subject owns a vehicle. If so, then an insurance search can be conducted. We can perform a vehicle ownership search for an additional $45.00. This fee is charged even if insurance is not found.

Q: What if the policy does not contain BI (bodily injury)?

A: If the policy is PIP only, we do not charge a fee. If you can't collect, we can't collect.

Q: Can you verify coverage limits?

A: In most cases, yes, but this is still done for the same fee as doing a full search.

Nursing Home Abuse Investigation

Professional Investigative Group is an innovator in Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect Investigation. By employing a staff of Paramedics, Emergency Medical Technicians and Nurses, we are qualified and prepared to handle any abuse or neglect case, no matter how severe. We assist several law firms throughout the United States with the investigation and litigation of nursing home and wrongful death cases.

There are several steps in investigating and preparing a case for settlement or trial.

Some of the services we offer include, but are not limited to:

• Determining if Abuse and or Neglect is present within a facility
• The locating of witnesses and family members
• Interviewing, evaluating and obtaining statements from witnesses
• Prepping witnesses for sworn statements, depositions and trials
• Analyzing charts and staffing documents
• Assisting with Discovery
• Assisting with Trial Preparations
• Obtaining Cost Reports, Licensure Files and Ownership Records
• Completing new-case sign-up packets
• Obtaining photographs of patient injuries

INVESTIGATION OUTLINE:

Generally, our investigations are initiated by completing a new-case sign-up packet with the patient's next of kin, power of attorney or legal guardian. Next, one of our trained medical photographers will obtain photographs of the patient either at the nursing home, the family's home or if necessary, at the medical examiner's office. All injuries are documented on film with both close-up and full body shots.

During the discovery process, we will obtain a list of former employees who worked at the nursing home just prior to, during and shortly after the patient was in the facility.

Next we move on to the interviews. We maintain a list of hundreds of questions that pertain to the nursing home industry which should be included in any interview of a potential witness. This list is tailored for each individual case in an effort to obtain detailed information from each witness with regard to the patient’s claim and/or injury. By conducting these interviews in person, we can determine the character of a witness who could possibly turn out to be a “star” witness. In our experiences, we have found that almost all nursing homes have disgruntled employees who turn out to be great witnesses.

Finally, we will set up a meeting with the "positive" witness and the attorney so that a sworn statement can be obtained.

While many investigative agencies would like to offer this service, the reality is it takes a large staff and many man hours to properly investigate a case of abuse/neglect. PIG remains an innovator and leader in Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect Investigation.

In addition to investigation, we also offer new client presentations to prospective clients enabling the sharing of vital information that could mean the difference of thousands of dollars in any given case.

ASSET CHECK FAQ

Q: Will an asset check find assets in someone else’s name like a spouse or relative?

A: No. Our search is limited to the individual you requested and asset check on. If there is the possibility of a spouse or other relative having assets, an asset check should be conducted on that person.

Q: Why aren’t bank accounts included in an asset check?

A: Bank accounts are an entirely different service that is regulated on federal privacy laws. Bank account searches require you to have an active judgment in order to request this search. See our Bank Account Search service page for additional information.

Q: What makes PIG’s asset checks different from some of the cheaper competitors?

A: The most obvious answer is our investigative experience. We are not simply selling information to our clients. We are selling verified accurate information that can be used in any court proceedings. We do not just resell public database information like the bast majority of competitors. Your asset check will be conducted by an actual investigator, not a free public database.

Q: How can some agencies offer instant results but you could take weeks?

A: These agencies are doing nothing more than running your subject’s name through a public database of free records. They turn around and submit a report of whatever this database spits out. These agencies are not truly conducting an investigation and are most likely not licensed private investigators. It takes time, training and expertise to uncover and verify assets.

Q: Can I obtain a credit report on someone?

A: Only if you have a signed credit release.

Q: Can you guarantee that you will find everything?

A: No. To do so would be impossible. Not everyone has assets that can be found. There are a number of ways assets can be hidden, especially when someone is hiding from the IRS.

Q: How long will it take to receive the final report?

A: This all depends on the scope of the asset check. Once we run our initial assessment, we can gain a better idea of the amount of time it might take. If we are conducting an asset check on a 20 year old college student, it may only take a day or two. If we are conducting an asset check on a middle aged real estate investor who has property throughout the USA, it could take weeks. If anyone says they know how long an asset check will take before even starting it, they are not performing a true and accurate asset check.
