Bodily injury claims can severely impact the bottom line of a company or municipality. Thornton Research specializes in assisting claims handlers, attorneys, and risk managers to investigate alleged disabilities through the use of video surveillance. Using a combination of tested methods and emergent technologies we have been very successful documenting claimant's activities "on film".
