The term “private investigator insurance” could mean one of two things. It could be specific field of investigative practice focusing on insurance claims or it could mean the insurance policies of private investigators. The first definition refers to cases that are handled by PIs about insurance claims that are suspicious. In this situation, an insurance company hires a PI to investigate if there is no fraud involved in an insurance claim. Once this has been established, the insurance company could then proceed to pay insurance benefits to his clients. Usually, PIs who are hired for this purpose were formerly in the law enforcement.
