To what extent can private investigators go when checking on workmans comp cases?

Can they peek in your window, follow you to another location, come inside and follow you, take photos, videos, question neighbors, relatives?To what extent can private investigators go when checking on workmans comp cases?
Yes to all, except for peeking in windows. If you have your windows open, they can look through them or take pictures from a distance, but they can't cone on your property and look through itTo what extent can private investigators go when checking on workmans comp cases?
No one can enter your private home without permission, but they can follow you anywhere and ask anyone questions about you and take as many pictures or videos they want (there are people that do it for a living) to confirm if you are really injured. They can follow you and stuff becuase, for example, if you say you hurt your back, they want to get pictures of you moving stuff or freely using your back so they can call you for fraud.
An insurance company can spend hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars taking care of an injured worker - that money is deserved and well spent if the worker is truly injured.





An insurance company can spend a few thousand bucks hiring a guy to verify that the other money is well-spent. That's a good investment if it keeps the insurance company from spending hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars taking care of a fraud.

Just about everything except peek in your windows.


So many people have lied about injuries that the insurance companies try to catch the cheats by trailing the person.
