Reasons Why Private Individuals Hire A Private Investigator Memphis

By Della Monroe


Insurance companies, especially those who specialize in Workman Compensation claims, are notorious for hiring a PI to follow claimants and verify the nature of their injury. Often enough they find that injuries being claimed are not that serious, and the claimant loses access to all future benefits. However, there are reasons why private individuals might feel the need to hire a private investigator Memphis or even Nashville, TN.

In the private sector, most investigations involve following a cheating spouse. These cases can be risky to the investigators themselves, as cheaters can become hostile when they realize they have been followed. The employees of these firms find this interesting considering that, 95% of the time someone suspects they are being betrayed in this way, their spouse is either cheating, or intending to do so in the near future.

But more than that, investigators often engage in the task of verifying the habits of potential nannies. This particular field of work is extremely competitive, and the expectations of ethical behavior from anyone attempting to secure employment in this way, which often also provides them with housing and transportation, is extremely high. The legal ground for having these young men and women followed is shaky, but so far it holds.

Child and elderly care centers, on the other hand, can be monitored and investigated at will. The investigator simply gets themselves hired by the center in order to see what really goes on from the inside. Going undercover is how these investigators came to be known as spooks, as people find it spooky when a person pretends to be someone they are not.

Business owners often hire spooks to keep an eye on their employees, especially if there has been a crime committed and employee theft is suspected. No employer wishes to keep a PI on the payroll indefinitely, as this hurts the employer/employee relationship. However, if there is suspicion of theft or drug use and trafficking, it may be necessary to hire such a person.

Parents suspicious of dishonesty or dangerous behavior out of their teenage son or daughter certainly have an open legal right to have their youngster followed and investigated. They get away with this under the guise of keeping their child safe. However, once a child turns 18, unless they are developmentally delayed or disabled, such monitoring would be legally regarded as stalking.

It is unfortunate that most PIs are hired due to suspicions of infidelity. It is necessary to point out that a hired hand not only is less likely to overreact in an emotionally charged situation, but the law more readily protects them from accusations of stalking. In addition, they have tools at their disposal which can save one from wasting hours performing Internet searches.

The investigators themselves wish their clients would always step back and allow them to do their job. In many domestic cases, the insecurity and emotional devastation causes the client to try and micro-manage their activities. There is a great deal of humiliation involved in being cheated on, and somehow when we are hurt, we humans think if we can just control the situation somehow it will be better, but it rarely ever works out that way.
