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

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