Practical knowledge, independently developed.

The Claims Field Guide exists to help claims professionals think more clearly about investigation strategy—before, during, and after an assignment.

Michael LoMonaco

Michael is a workers' compensation investigation and claims-services professional whose work has centered on SIU, surveillance, AOE/COE, claims support, investigative strategy, client communication, and professional training.

The Field Guide is built around a simple premise: claims professionals benefit most when investigative activity is tied to a clearly defined evidentiary question rather than a generic service request.

Scout

Scout is the research and editorial support layer behind the project, helping organize public-source research, develop educational frameworks, pressure-test concepts, and turn complex investigative topics into practical resources.

Independence

The Claims Field Guide is an independent educational project. Content is developed for general professional education and is not presented on behalf of an employer, insurer, TPA, law firm, or investigative vendor.
