COURSE DESCRIPTION: Behind surveillance operations, a private investigator's second most important skill is the ability to properly conduct interviews and obtain recorded statements! Most often we are called upon to talk to plaintiffs, claimants, witnesses, defendants, and insured parties, especially in cases involving insurance claims- where large sums of money are won and lost on our abilities to successfully elicit all of the facts regarding the accident, insured loss, fire, etc. Insurance fraud is the second costliest white-collar crime in America, after tax evasion. It is estimated that $80 billion is paid out each year in fraudulent insurance claims. It is estimated by the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud that the average American household pays over $950 a year in additional premiums to cover the cost of insurance fraud. According to industry estimates, healthcare fraud alone costs Americans $54 billion a year. Private Investigators have traditionally always been used by the insurance industry as its “eyes and ears” in the field, independently collecting the facts surrounding insured losses. Recently, however, we are becoming even more important to the overall health of the world’s insurers. This course is designed to teach and develop techniques that are required in the toughest interviews- from an insurance investigation point of view and regardless if the investigator is working for the claimant or the insurer. The course of instruction will introduce topics from interviewing methodologies, obtaining quality statements, and most importantly- a HUGE statement guide written and developed by insurance industry professionals that cover the interview topics that private investigators develop in approximately 93% of all cases. We are the ONLY online course authorized to provide this well guarded information! |
