To Corporate Leaders Dealing With Fraud, False Claims, and Costly Excuses in the Workplace

My name is Gérald (Gerry) Gatien, President of Maverick Private Investigations Inc. We are based in Cornwall, Ottawa, and Montreal, and we operate across Canada. We are retired detectives with 28 years of service to the multicultural community with the Montreal Police Department.

When I joined the force in 1988, I was a rookie with no street survival skills. In 1992, at Station 25 downtown, I sought out the most aggressive, savvy, and effective arresting officer on the team and asked him to coach me. I learned early that when you are coached by the best, you become one of the sharpest tools in the shed.


That same eye is what we use today at Maverick.


When a workers' compensation file does not add up, we follow the facts to find the truth.


No assumptions.


Honest, injured workers deserve every dollar. In Quebec, that is CNESST. In Ontario, that is WSIB.


Workers' compensation fraud is different. It is the worker who claims to be injured but is not. The employee who stretches a real injury. The one who collects wage-replacement benefits while working a side job for cash, or says they cannot lift a bag until they are offered cash under the table. This dishonesty costs the industry millions. Premiums go up. Faithful employers and honest employees pay the price.


On suspicious CNESST / WSIB disability claims, we investigate the pattern. In our experience, out of 10 employees placed under surveillance, 7 had extended their claims even though they were fit to work. It usually takes two to three days of lawful surveillance to see if the story matches the body.


We document:


• Activity that contradicts stated restrictions

• Side work while on wage-replacement

• The limp that only appears on clinic day

• Public posts that do not match the medical story


We do not trespass. We do not harass. We record what is already happening in public view, and we report it so a lawyer or adjuster can use it.]


Maverick is expert at catching these cases red-handed. What we call the "money shot" gives management clear, usable evidence.


Founded and managed by retired Montreal Police officers and sergeant-detectives. Licensed Private Investigators in Quebec and Ontario. Main office in Cornwall.


If you run a company and suspect foul play, and an employee's claim just does not sit right, call our trusted, licensed investigators.
