Complex Insurance Litigation:
Bad faith, wrongful termination, high dollar commercial claims, arson, fraudulent,
and suspect claims are terms that can mean significant one-time pay-outs for
insurance companies.
Eurosurveillance pfa Romania has taken traditional insurance investigation
techniques to a higher level by providing services that assist adjusters and
attorneys in making the best decisions, and in achieving the best results
possible, in a prompt and economical manner. Our case managers can pull
together the proper team (investigators, accountants, interviewers, analysts,
surveillance technicians, and experts) to gather and assemble the facts
needed to successfully resolve major claims that have serious civil exposure,
and that deal with sensitive issues, criminal behavior, violence, and/or
fraud.
Case Studies:
An international company discovered evidence that its branch manager had
engaged in a number of illegal schemes which deprived the company of assets
while personally enriching the manager. The company used its accountants and
company officers from other locations to develop preliminary information, and
later engaged the services of an international accounting firm to quantify
the loss, and present the matter to law enforcement.
In the interim, the company terminated the manager and several other
employees. The terminated manager filed an unlawful termination and
defamation lawsuit, seeking tens of millions of dollars in damages. Because
of the financial exposure to the insurance company, and the presence of
numerous allegations of criminal behavior (and possible violent criminal
tendencies on behalf of the terminated manager), Eurosurveillance pfa Romania
was engaged to conduct an investigation into the activities of the former
manager.
Eurosurveillance pfa’s investigation substantiated many of the initial
allegations posed by company officers against the former manager. Additional
information was developed relating to other illegal activities on behalf of
the former manager, as well as other former company employees and vendors.
The information and evidence gathered by Eurosurveillance pfa Romania was
used by the insurance company and the Victim Company to reduce their initial
exposure (tens of millions) to a low five-figure settlement.
