Bath Claim Background
Michael Thompson*, a 42-year-old warehouse supervisor at a major Bath logistics company, filed a workers' compensation claim alleging permanent back injury from a workplace fall. The incident allegedly occurred on July 3rd, 2024, when Thompson claimed he fell from a loading platform while supervising operations at the Bath distribution centre, resulting in severe spinal damage requiring surgery and permanent disability.
The claim sought £250,000 in compensation, including £85,000 for medical expenses, £120,000 for permanent disability, and £45,000 for loss of future earnings. Thompson's medical reports indicated severe injury requiring lifetime care and inability to return to any form of employment in the Bath area.
Bath Initial Claim Details:
- Incident Date: July 3rd, 2024, 2:15 PM at Bath facility
- Location: Loading Bay 7, Bath Distribution Centre
- Alleged Cause: Fall from 4-foot loading platform during routine supervision in Bath
- Claimed Injuries: L4-L5 disc herniation, spinal compression, permanent mobility limitation
- Medical Treatment: Emergency surgery at Bath hospital, ongoing physiotherapy, pain management
- Work Status: Declared permanently unable to work in any capacity within Bath
Thompson had been employed at the Bath company for 18 years with an exemplary safety record and no previous injury claims. His sudden catastrophic injury raised initial concerns due to the severity relative to the described incident mechanism at the Bath facility.
Bath Investigation Red Flags
Several factors prompted the insurance company to conduct enhanced investigation beyond standard claim processing for the Bath case:
- CCTV Gap: Security camera covering Loading Bay 7 at Bath facility was "malfunctioning" during the alleged incident time
- Witness Absence: No direct witnesses to the fall despite busy operational area at Bath centre
- Delayed Reporting: Incident reported 6 hours after alleged occurrence at Bath
- Medical Inconsistencies: Injury severity didn't align with mechanism described for Bath incident
- Lifestyle Changes: Social media surveillance showed activities around Bath inconsistent with claimed disability
- Financial Pressure: Investigation revealed significant personal debt and recent divorce proceedings in Bath
Bath Medical Evaluation Concerns
Independent Medical Examination: Bath orthopedic specialist questioned injury pattern consistency with described fall
MRI Analysis: Findings at Bath medical centre showed degeneration patterns suggesting chronic condition rather than acute trauma
Physical Capabilities: Observed activities around Bath exceeded claimed functional limitations
Bath Surveillance Findings:
- Physical Activity: Video evidence around Bath of lifting heavy objects, sports activities
- Employment Elsewhere: Evidence of cash-in-hand work in Bath during claimed disability period
- Social Media: Posts from Bath showing physical activities contradicting medical claims
- Travel Evidence: International vacation from Bath requiring significant physical mobility
- Witness Statements: Bath neighbors reported normal physical activity patterns
Despite mounting circumstantial evidence, the insurance company needed definitive proof of deception to deny the Bath claim and avoid potential bad faith litigation. Traditional investigation methods had reached their limits.
