Background Checks & Asset Investigations
Claimant Backgrounds and Asset Searches for Insurance.
Insurance-grade background investigations on claimants, and asset searches for subrogation, post-judgment recovery, and pre-litigation screening. FCRA and GLBA-compliant, integrated with ISO ClaimSearch and CLUE, and delivered to the carrier reporting standards your adjusters and counsel expect.
Background & Asset Investigations
The Background the File Needs. The Assets the Recovery Needs.
Carriers, TPAs, and defense counsel often need two kinds of research on the same file. During the claim: claimant background covering criminal, civil, prior claims, employment, address history, and social media. At recovery: asset investigation covering real property, entity ownership, hidden assets, and skip trace. We deliver both, with FCRA- and GLBA-compliant reporting integrated with the databases your carrier already uses.
Compliance & Access
Carrier-Grade Reporting. Permissible-Purpose Everything.
Compliance is not optional in insurance investigations. A background or asset report developed outside permissible purpose, or that violates FCRA or GLBA, is worse than no report at all. We stay within the rules, and our reporting keeps your file defensible through denial, litigation, and regulatory review.
How We Operate
- FCRA-Compliant Background ReportingWhen a report is used for underwriting, employment, or any Fair Credit Reporting Act purpose, we produce FCRA-compliant deliverables with proper permissible-purpose documentation.
- GLBA-Compliant Asset SearchFinancial institution identification and asset work is conducted under Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act permissible-purpose rules. No pretexting, no illegal financial-record access.
- ISO ClaimSearch, CLUE & NICBPrior claims history, CLUE reports, and NICB ForeWarn are a baseline on every claimant investigation where the carrier subscribes, combined with independent litigation and court-record searches.
- Multi-State & Nationwide CoverageLicensed field investigators in CA, NV, AZ, OR, ID, UT, and FL, plus a vetted national network for background verification and asset confirmation that requires boots on the ground.
