Insurance Fraud Investigator Edinburgh

Discreet, Reliable, and Committed to Exposing the Truth


Surveillance for Suspicious Insurance Claims

Insurance fraud costs insurers millions yearly, and false claims hurt businesses and honest policyholders. At Trojan Investigations, we specialise in covert surveillance to uncover fraudulent activity and support claim validation. Whether it's exaggerated injuries, staged accidents, or dishonest lifestyle claims, we discreetly monitor and document the subject's behaviour to reveal the facts. Our evidence includes time-stamped video, photographic footage, and detailed activity logs - all prepared to support legal action if necessary.

Claimant Verification & Lifestyle Checks

When the details in a claim don't quite add up, a lifestyle check can uncover the reality. We track and report on a claimant's physical movements, work activity, and daily routines to determine if their actions align with the limitations stated in their claim. Whether it's a personal injury, disability, or loss-of-earnings case, our findings help insurers and solicitors make informed decisions based on real-world evidence.

Vehicle, Property & Workplace Fraud Investigation

We conduct thorough investigations into suspicious vehicle damage reports, staged workplace injuries, and property claims that may involve exaggeration or fabrication. Using covert observation, interviews, digital footprint analysis, and collaboration with industry partners, we gather and compile everything needed to assess the claim's validity. Every investigation is tailored to the case and fully documented with court-ready reports.

Frequently Asked Questions


What is insurance fraud investigation?

Insurance fraud investigation involves discreetly gathering evidence to determine whether a claim is genuine. This may include covert surveillance, lifestyle checks, background verification, and digital analysis. We aim to uncover inconsistencies between the claimant's statements and their actual behaviour.

What types of insurance fraud do you investigate?

We investigate various insurance fraud cases, including exaggerated personal injury claims, staged accidents, false property damage, fabricated theft, and workplace-related fraud. Each investigation is tailored to the specifics of the claim and client requirements.

How do you carry out surveillance?

We use discreet, lawful methods to observe and document the claimant's behaviour. This may involve video surveillance, photography, GPS vehicle tracking (where legal), and monitoring of daily routines to verify the accuracy of their reported injuries or limitations.

Is the investigation process confidential?

Yes. Every case we handle is treated with the highest level of confidentiality. Our work is never disclosed to third parties without your permission, and we always operate within strict legal and ethical boundaries.

Can you investigate without the claimant knowing?

Absolutely. Most of our investigations are conducted covertly. The subject is not made aware they are being observed unless it becomes legally or ethically necessary to disclose information, which is rare in these cases.

Do you work with insurance companies directly?

Yes. We regularly work with insurers, legal teams, and loss adjusters to investigate suspicious or high-risk claims. We also assist self-insured organisations and businesses handling internal cases of suspected fraud.

Is the evidence usable in legal proceedings?

Yes. All reports, footage, and findings are prepared to be legally admissible. We provide timestamped visual evidence, detailed observations, and full documentation that can support court proceedings or claim rejection if necessary.

Can you carry out investigations outside Edinburgh?

Yes. Although we're local, our services extend across the UK and beyond through a trusted network of investigators. We can follow leads wherever they go, ensuring thorough and consistent results.

What information do you need to start an investigation?

Basic claim details, the claimant's name, reported injuries, dates of incidents, and any supporting information such as witness statements or social media links are useful. If you're unsure what to provide, we'll guide you through it step by step.

Will I be kept updated during the investigation?

Yes. We believe in transparent communication. You'll be kept informed throughout the process and receive a full report after the investigation. Urgent findings can also be shared in real time when appropriate.

Is everything you do legal?

Yes. We operate strictly within UK law, including GDPR and the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act. Our team uses only lawful surveillance methods, and all evidence is gathered professionally and competently.
