Insurance fraud is an enormous problem and false claims are made every day.  False claims can range from a complete fabrication of the truth to minor details within a claim.  When someone files a claim against the insured, the investigation starts with a complete analysis of the claimant's injuries and statements through medical evaluation and a Discovery process.  During this process, the Defendant counsel will request answers to legal interrogatories.  These interrogatories are questions presented to the Plaintiff that must be answered.  They are an attempt to cover the entire extent of the occurrence, injury and claim.  The Plaintiff then returns the answers to interrogatories to the insured's attorney. The Defendant counsel may hire a Private Investigator at anytime of this process.  

​

A deposition is a formal, in person interview of the Plaintiff by the Defendant counsel (usually recorded).  The deposition transcript can be analyzed for investigation purposes.
