KANSAS INSURANCE COMPANIES DO SPY ON INJURED

You were injured in an accident, in Overland Park, or somewhere in Kansas. You filed a claim with the insurance company. Now you think you are being followed. Believe it or not, you may not be just paranoid. There are known cases of other Kansas clients being tailed. That may mean that someone is not just watching you but, also taking pictures, videos, etc. of you. Why you though? Typically, this happens in the following circumstances:

• You have large amounts of medical expenses and/or damages;
• The insurance company or your employer have cause to believe that you are not as injured as you say;
• You are suspected of reporting restrictions/limitations that are extreme or exaggerated; and/or
• Someone has shared with them you may not be telling the whole truth.

If you are being honest about your injury and/or damages you have nothing to worry about. And yes, it is legal, in Kansas, to preform surveillance. 

Here are some ways to prevent being investigated:

• Be honest with law enforcement/supervisor at the time of your injury;
• Don't embellish your story when you speak to the insurance company;
• Follow the doctor's orders;
• Document your needs, pain, restrictions, abilities; and
• Refrain from saying you absolutely cannot do any one thing unless it is humanly impossible. Instead use word like, "difficult", "painful", "nearly impossible", etc..

While you may know that you are doing the right thing, if you are being tailed, you should not face this matter alone. It is not only likely that your claim is going to be denied but, it is also possible that you could be facing criminal charges (depending on the circumstances).
