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.

Claimant Background Investigations

Insurance-grade background on claimants: criminal, civil, bankruptcy, judgments, liens, driver history, professional licenses, and prior claims history. Live verification included where it matters.

Asset Searches & Post-Judgment Recovery

Real property, entity ownership, vehicles, vessels, aircraft, and UCC filings. Used for subrogation, judgment recovery, and pre-litigation asset screening.

Hidden & Offshore Asset Investigations

LLCs, trusts, shell companies, fraudulent transfers, offshore holdings, and cryptocurrency tracing. Forensic accounting support for matters where assets were moved to evade collection.

Skip Trace & Witness Locate

Locating claimants who have moved, silent witnesses, missing heirs, absconded debtors, and next-of-kin. Current address verification and service of process support included.

Social Media & OSINT Investigation

Open-source intelligence on claimants: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, YouTube, Reddit, and dating apps. Findings are authenticated, preserved, and tied to claim representations.

Business, Ownership & Payroll Investigations

Secretary of state, DBA, UBO/beneficial ownership, shell company, ghost-employee, misclassification, and premium-audit investigation for underwriting and fraud recovery.

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 Reporting
    When 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 Search
    Financial 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 & NICB
    Prior 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 Coverage
    Licensed 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.
