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