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

Portland Insurance Fraud Testing Protocol
Phase 1: Portland 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 Portland testing.
Phase 2: Portland 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 Portland context.
Phase 3: Portland Incident Memory Verification (40 minutes)
Detailed questioning about the alleged fall at Portland facility, including specific sensory memories, environmental details, and emotional responses that would be present in genuine traumatic injury incidents.
Phase 4: Portland Functional Capacity Assessment (35 minutes)
Testing responses to questions about physical limitations and activities around Portland. P300 patterns monitored for deception about actual versus claimed physical capabilities.
Phase 5: Portland Concealed Knowledge Testing (30 minutes)
Presentation of specific details about surveillance evidence from Portland and contradictory activities to test for guilty knowledge of fraudulent behavior.
Phase 6: Portland Polygraph Comparison (60 minutes)
Traditional polygraph testing using identical questions to demonstrate EEG superiority in detecting sophisticated fraud attempts in Portland case.
