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