Overview: Surveillance Uncovers Inconsistencies in Personal Injury Lawsuit
In May 2024, Privin Network was retained by a national law firm to conduct discreet surveillance on a subject involved in a personal injury lawsuit in Fort Collins, Colorado. The individual claimed physical limitations as part of the ongoing legal proceedings. Our assignment: verify whether the subject’s day-to-day activity aligned with their reported injuries.
With a holiday weekend approaching and favorable conditions for outdoor activity, our surveillance team deployed in the Fort Collins area, monitoring the subject across two consecutive days.
Surveillance Strategy and Setup
Our approach involved static surveillance from multiple mobile vantage points with zoom-capable equipment. Investigators conducted pre-surveillance scouting to determine likely egress routes and areas of activity, anticipating the subject’s potential movement over the Memorial Day weekend.
On Day One, surveillance was active from morning until evening, yielding over 47 minutes of video footage. The second day yielded no observable activity other than spending time with their pets, but provided valuable confirmation of behavior patterns.
Key Findings: Physical Activity That Contradicts Injury Claims
Over the course of the first day, our team documented the subject engaging in moderate to high-level physical exertion inconsistent with their claimed injuries. Observations included:
- Walking and jogging without visible discomfort
- Navigating curbs and stairs without hesitation
- Riding on a motorcycle
- Attending a local event with no assistive devices or support
These activities were captured with timestamped video and included various angles and distances to ensure clarity and admissibility.
On the second day, investigators conducted continued surveillance to establish patterns but the subject did not leave the residence. However, the subject was spotted outside the residence with their pets.
Outcome: Actionable Evidence Delivered to Legal Team
Privin Network delivered a comprehensive surveillance report including:
- 47 minutes of edited and raw video footage
- A photographic evidence index
- Investigator logs and location validation
The client law firm was provided with court-admissible documentation to be used in the ongoing case. The surveillance findings introduced material inconsistencies between the subject’s claimed limitations and their observed behavior, potentially affecting the trajectory of the personal injury lawsuit.
