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

Detailed questioning about the alleged fall at Scarborough facility, including specific sensory memories, environmental details, and emotional responses that would be present in genuine traumatic injury incidents.
Phase 4: Scarborough Functional Capacity Assessment (35 minutes)
Testing responses to questions about physical limitations and activities around Scarborough. P300 patterns monitored for deception about actual versus claimed physical capabilities.
Phase 5: Scarborough Concealed Knowledge Testing (30 minutes)
