Bolton Claim Background
Michael Thompson*, a 42-year-old warehouse supervisor at a major Bolton 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 Bolton 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 Bolton area.
Bolton Initial Claim Details:
- Incident Date: July 3rd, 2024, 2:15 PM at Bolton facility
- Location: Loading Bay 7, Bolton Distribution Centre
- Alleged Cause: Fall from 4-foot loading platform during routine supervision in Bolton
- Claimed Injuries: L4-L5 disc herniation, spinal compression, permanent mobility limitation
- Medical Treatment: Emergency surgery at Bolton hospital, ongoing physiotherapy, pain management
- Work Status: Declared permanently unable to work in any capacity within Bolton
Thompson had been employed at the Bolton 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 Bolton facility.
Bolton Investigation Red Flags
Several factors prompted the insurance company to conduct enhanced investigation beyond standard claim processing for the Bolton case:
- CCTV Gap: Security camera covering Loading Bay 7 at Bolton facility was "malfunctioning" during the alleged incident time
- Witness Absence: No direct witnesses to the fall despite busy operational area at Bolton centre
- Delayed Reporting: Incident reported 6 hours after alleged occurrence at Bolton
- Medical Inconsistencies: Injury severity didn't align with mechanism described for Bolton incident
- Lifestyle Changes: Social media surveillance showed activities around Bolton inconsistent with claimed disability
- Financial Pressure: Investigation revealed significant personal debt and recent divorce proceedings in Bolton
Bolton Medical Evaluation Concerns
Independent Medical Examination: Bolton orthopedic specialist questioned injury pattern consistency with described fall
MRI Analysis: Findings at Bolton medical centre showed degeneration patterns suggesting chronic condition rather than acute trauma
Physical Capabilities: Observed activities around Bolton exceeded claimed functional limitations
Bolton Surveillance Findings:
- Physical Activity: Video evidence around Bolton of lifting heavy objects, sports activities
- Employment Elsewhere: Evidence of cash-in-hand work in Bolton during claimed disability period
- Social Media: Posts from Bolton showing physical activities contradicting medical claims
- Travel Evidence: International vacation from Bolton requiring significant physical mobility
- Witness Statements: Bolton neighbors reported normal physical activity patterns
Despite mounting circumstantial evidence, the insurance company needed definitive proof of deception to deny the Bolton claim and avoid potential bad faith litigation. Traditional investigation methods had reached their limits.
