Legal Question in Workers Comp in Pennsylvania
Invasion of Privacy Question
I am hoping someone can provide some guidance with this. My mother just recently was awarded her Worker's Comp Case as in receiving medical treatment for her injury as well as monthly payments. The opposing insurance company decided they will keep trying to fight her and decided to hire an investigation company to film her. This insurance company had her filmed previously (during her legal battle with them). She was filmed at the residence she lived at during that time period. The insurance company hired the same exact investigators to film her once again. They provided dates that she was to have been filmed to her attorney. My mother then requested a copy of the film. She knew that she was not doing anything that they had stated she was doing on this supposed film. She just received a copy of it and here the investigation company filmed my wife and children the whole time. They were somewhere near my residence and filmed my wife playing with our children and running errands a How can this be legal? Can I file a complaint against this investigation company. My mother is 46 yrs old, blonde and 5'7 and my wife is Brunette, 5'4 and 23 years old. How can this be a mistake. Anyone with any information please assist. Thank you

Re: Invasion of Privacy Question
There are many abusive investigators out there but so long as they were in a public place I don't know if you have any remedy.
