It is common knowledge that a properly conducted Subrosa investigation is one of the best methods to uncover fraud, malingering, and claimed injury exaggeration.

Like any investigation, the more information you can provide the investigator the higher the odds of thorough and accurate results.

The following list is helpful when requesting a Subrosa Investigation.

1. Provide an accurate full name, birth-date, social security number and any known aliases.

2. If time allows examine the medical reports for a physical description including height, weight, hair color, eye color, race,  and any other identifying information.

County district attorneys in California will share $29.8 million in grants to fund workers' compensation fraud-fighting efforts, California Insurance Commissioner Poizner said.

The grants will underwrite fraud investigations and prosecutions. Funding is provided through an assessment on employers, as determined by the state Fraud Assessment Commission. Counties' applications are reviewed based on past-year performance and other criteria by a grant panel, the insurance commissioner and the commission.

The anti-fraud departments of insurance companies throughout the state work closely with district attorneys, said Mike Sektnan, Vice President of the Association of California Insurance Companies.

The grants are still subject to approval in the final state budget.

U.S. property/casualty insurer financial impairments have more than tripled since 2007, the last full year before the current recession, rising to 18 in 2009, up from 16 in 2008 and from five in 2007.
