Back in the 1960's, the private investigators were able to disprove fraudulente injury claims by gaining the confidence of claimants and having them perform activities that they had the doctors, attorneys, insurance adjusters and courts convinced could not be performed. The millions of dollars saved by the insurance companies using the 'Rope Job' came to a sudden halt in 1970 due to claimants attorneys filing law suits against the insurance companies for invasion of privacy. The claimants attorneys stated their claimants could not be contacted by anyone representing the insurance industry once they became represented by an attorney. Since 1970, the insurance companies spend tens of thousands of dollars for surveillance on what they perceive to be bogus claims and often with no tangeble results.
