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