Using Surveillance Evidence in Personal Injury Claims - An Update

Introduction

Surveillance has become a frequent feature in injury litigation, where insurers try to identify claimants who are exaggerating their symptoms or simply being outright fraudulent, while genuine claimants risk being caught on a ‘good day’ and left with the burden of proving often life changing effects, caused by their injuries.
