Background Checks

In our inter-connected world, we meet more people than ever before.

Worker's Compensation Investigation

While Worker’s Compensation is a great system, it is subject to wanton abuse. Otherwise law abiding individuals won’t give a second thought to deliberately overstating injuries in order to get a few extra days off or to maximize an insurance payoff because they believe “it’s no big deal.”

Service of Process & Locating Difficult People

Some people just don’t want to be found. Coincidentally (or not) those are frequently the people who need to be found for process of service. When the subject of your service of process is attempting to hide from you and regular process servers, it’s time to bring in the big guns.

Personal Injury Investigations

AOE/COE Investigations

AOE/COE refers to Arising Out of Employment / Course Of Employment. This is an insurance industry term referring to whether an injury sustained by an injured worker can be actually considered a workplace injury or not. The rules that determine whether an injury will be covered under Worker’s Compensation or not are complex and best left to professionals.

EEO Investigations

Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) allegations are serious business. They can lead to a hostile work environment, trigger expensive lawsuits, and tarnish a company’s reputation. These are complex investigations are there is rarely any “hard evidence” and they frequently boil down to one person’s word versus another’s.

Asset Investigations

Whether vetting a business partner who claims to have assets or dealing with a former spouse who claims to have no assets, we can assist you in finding out the truth. Investigators at San Francisco & Bay Area Investigations use a variety of databases, both public and private to determine what assets a person may or may not have.

Missing Persons

Dealing with a missing person is never easy for the party looking for them. The missing person may be in trouble and unable to contact friends and family, or may be hiding out.
