Injured offshore workers beware: companies try to dig up dirt on you

It’s a widespread trick for insurance companies to search through your medical history in order to turn you, the injured worker, into the villain. We at Vujasinovic & Beckcom receive reports of insurers who send someone to every hospital in the area of an injured person’s residence with an authorization looking for medical records. Sometimes they hit pay dirt and find things out. For example, one worker is presently being grilled on some very old injuries, and drug treatment, from more than 10 years ago. The moral of the story: make sure you provide full disclosure about your past medical history when you start the job. Because any detail untold can and will be used against you, even if it doesn’t have anything to do with your injury.
