JENKINTOWN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS

Yes. Not only is it legal in Pennsylvania but it is common practice for insurance companies to hire investigators to look into your claim. Unfortunately, there are people who lie about their injuries to receive benefits when they do not need them. This is why insurance companies can be untrusting and will investigate your claim.

An investigator has the right to talk to your neighbors, take photographs, and follow you around. If you are telling the truth about your claim then you have nothing to worry about.

When they talk to your neighbors they will be asking questions that are related to your injury. For example, if your claim states that you cannot walk due to a broken leg, the investigator will ask your neighbors if they have seen you walking to get the newspaper or to take out the trash.

If you feel that you have been wrongly accused by the insurance companies for your compensation claim, you should seek the advice of a skilled attorney. Insurance companies do not want to pay benefits if they are not necessary, but if you are in need of benefits it is your right to receive them. Insurance companies might say you are lying after sending investigators to your house, but you can still fight to receive benefits.
