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

Hull Insurance Fraud Testing Protocol
Phase 1: Hull Medical History Baseline (30 minutes)
Established Thompson's baseline P300 responses using verified medical history, previous treatments, and undisputed health information to calibrate his neurological response patterns for Hull testing.
Phase 2: Hull Pain Response Testing (45 minutes)
Specialized protocols to test genuine pain responses versus fabricated pain claims. Brain patterns analyzed for recognition of actual physical discomfort versus performed symptoms in Hull context.
Phase 3: Hull Incident Memory Verification (40 minutes)
Detailed questioning about the alleged fall at Hull facility, including specific sensory memories, environmental details, and emotional responses that would be present in genuine traumatic injury incidents.
Phase 4: Hull Functional Capacity Assessment (35 minutes)
Testing responses to questions about physical limitations and activities around Hull. P300 patterns monitored for deception about actual versus claimed physical capabilities.
Phase 5: Hull Concealed Knowledge Testing (30 minutes)
Presentation of specific details about surveillance evidence from Hull and contradictory activities to test for guilty knowledge of fraudulent behavior.
Phase 6: Hull Polygraph Comparison (60 minutes)
Traditional polygraph testing using identical questions to demonstrate EEG superiority in detecting sophisticated fraud attempts in Hull case.
