At Capital Investigations, we work with insurers, corporations, lawyers, and even private individuals to gather factual, court-admissible evidence that uncovers fraudulent behavior and supports just outcomes.
Our team of licensed investigators operates with precision, discretion, and a deep understanding of Canadian laws and privacy regulations. We serve clients throughout Canada—from Toronto and Vancouver to remote regions—offering comprehensive, customizable services that deliver clarity and confidence.
What Is Insurance Fraud?
Insurance fraud is a deliberate and illegal act committed with the intent to deceive an insurance provider or employer for financial gain. It can take many forms, including filing false claims, exaggerating legitimate damages, staging accidents, or intentionally misrepresenting information to obtain unwarranted benefits or compensation.
This type of fraud spans various insurance sectors, including:
- Auto Insurance
- Workers’ Compensation
- Disability Claims
- Health Insurance
- Property Insurance
- Life Insurance
Whether it involves a single individual submitting a dishonest claim or a complex network orchestrating systemic abuse, insurance fraud has far-reaching consequences. It drives up premiums for honest policyholders, delays legitimate claim settlements, and erodes public trust in the insurance industry as a whole.
At Capital Investigations, we take insurance fraud seriously—working with insurers, legal professionals, and employers to uncover the truth and protect the integrity of the claims process.

6. Life Insurance Fraud – Falsifying death records, faking one’s own death, or manipulating beneficiary information.
Signs That May Indicate Insurance Fraud
Certain red flags often point to possible fraudulent behavior. While these signs aren’t proof on their own, they can warrant professional investigation:
- Delays in providing supporting documents or inconsistent statements
- Claims made shortly after policy inception
- Financial stress or recent changes in employment
- Overly detailed or vague descriptions of incidents
- Witnesses who are unavailable or inconsistent
- Conflicting medical or repair documentation
Claimants unreachable during certain hours or found engaging in activities contradicting their reported injuries
