Northwood & Associates is acknowledged as a leader in investigations dealing with exaggerated and/or fraudulent personal injury and property claims. Our primary objective is to enable the legal counsel for insurance companies, as well as claims examiners and adjusters, to make informative decisions relating to first and third party insurance claims. Our detailed reports assist in reducing their exposure to fraudulent and/or exaggerated claims.

Training & Equipment
The success of our surveillance services can be directly attributed to the comprehensive, in-house field training program which is mandatory for all new Northwood & Associates investigators. This comprehensive program covers all aspects of covert surveillance, including static and mobile observations.

Northwod & Associates has conducted thousands of surveillance cases and the evidence gathered has assisted many of our clients and their legal representatives to comprehensively defend personal injury, workers’ compensation and disability claims.

Pre-surveillance
One of the most critical aspects of any surveillance assignment is obtaining a positive identification of the subject. Before any surveillance assignment is commenced, our Pre-surveillance Specialists gather information and develop an intelligence report by utilizing a range of nationwide database and background information services in order to maximize the efforts of our Investigators.

Our extensive preparatory work gives our Investigators greater insight into each assignment, thereby enhancing the opportunity for a successful outcome for our clients. Our state-of-the-art, web-based technology electronically delivers the report, streaming video and photographs directly to the Claims Adjuster’s desktop.

Our investigators are highly skilled in all aspects of insurance investigations, including:

- Personal injury
- Liability and litigation support
- Property loss through fire or theft
- Accident reconstruction
- Claims history
