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

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