Property and Casualty insurance is one of the largest industries
in Canada and is continually growing. To keep up with the high demands
generated by this growth, we are constantly evolving and changing
our services to ensure customer satisfaction.
Our services include but are not limited to:
-
Surveillance
Surveillance on Third Party and First Party
claims are completed by our professional and diverse team of investigators.
For culturally sensitive matters, we employ staff from varied backgrounds
to ensure a higher success rate.
Our investigators are trained
and updated on necessary industry changes, from privacy to accident
prevention. Our staff use state of the art video equipment, including
hidden camera devices.
To ensure that each investigation is managed
successfully from start to completion, Whitehall
Canada’s Case Managers provide clients
daily updates through FileLynx, e-mail and/or telephone. Included
as part of our Case Management system, staff perform quality assurance
reviews of all reports and video. This is coupled with our eVALUation
card wherein our clients grade us in areas such as quality, time
service and costs.
-
Major & Complex Loss Investigation
Major losses are unfortunately
a part of the world in which we live. Whether serious injuries
or death stem from long haul trucking, train, bus or airplane accidents,
or property losses to include tavern or social host liability,
our Major Loss Unit is able to assist and provide comprehensive
investigative support. Primary support includes:
-
In depth interviews of witnesses, first responders, insured
drivers, passengers and others who are involved.
-
These interviews are followed up with comprehensive statements,
diagrams and other supportive evidence.
-
Our On-Scene Accident Analysis provides detailed footage, photographs,
diagrams and measurements that can be compared to statements
and other evidence. This service provides you an opportunity
to focus on other potential factors that might be lost in the
days, weeks or months after a loss.
-
Investigation Beyond the Lens™ Mentality
Most losses require
investigation to include surveillance, interviews and statements.
The claims process may take several years and require any number
of investigative techniques beyond the standard surveillance
requests. Our staff is well trained in keeping focused on the
client’s
objective and realize there are many avenues beyond surveillance
to secure the truth. Some of these services include the following:
- Neighborhood Canvasses
- Employment interviews with supervisors, colleagues, and Human
Resources personnel
- Claimant interviews
- Extensive databases searches
- Locate Investigations
-
Financial Motive, Subrogation and Recovery
Understanding the needs
of claims personnel has given Whitehall Canada a wealth
of experience in property losses, such as theft, fire and mortgage
fraud. Motive investigation is a specialty, which includes a delicate
balance of interviews and database searches. In-person attendance
to document fire, theft and inventory losses via video can be
supported by interviews with suppliers, employees and others to
ensure the full picture is provided for assessment.
-
Database Investigations
Searches are commonly used to support
surveillance and uncover leads, which may assist in developing the truth.
Our national and international search capabilities are among the
best in North America because we do more than scratch the surface.
Common
searches completed include, but are not limited to:
- Civil and Litigation Searches
- Criminal
- Individual Locate
- Real Property/Asset Individual
- Real Property/Asset Corporate
- Motor Vehicle Registration and Driver Record
- Insurance and Claims History
- Lien Searches
- Weather Reports
- Land Title Searches
- Hospital Canvass {US Claims Only}
* Please note that some searches
require authorization
-
Vendor Screening and Audit
Clients deserve
to be associated with or retain respected, professional services.
However, much like a new employee may print or say what is needed
to secure a job, we also ensure that vendors our clients use or
consider are in fact truthful. Whitehall Canada has
investigated and determined fraudulent providers used by the insurance
and corporate communities. Billing to Performance is also reviewed,
as is a complete review of proposal information.
