The worker claimed neck and back pain
from a slip and fell in the parking lot a few
minutes before his shift began. There were
no witnesses.

The insured was clamoring for an
investigation because she suspected
something was wrong, but she gave me
no firm leads. Rumor had it the worker had
been involved in a motor vehicle accident
over the weekend, but I couldn't prove it and
neither could the employer.

A cursory check with the Fresno PD and
Fresno County Sheriff's office turned up
nothing. Co-workers were interviewed as
well as the worker's neighbors. Nada.
Other than suspicions on the part of the
employer, I had nothing.

While witnesses are not required to prove a claim, sometimes their absence
is suspicious. One would
expect there to be others arriving in the parking lot
at the start of a shift.
