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