While attorneys have many tools to build a winning case, a skilled investigator can be one of your firm’s most valuable assets. Investigators are in the business of obtaining information and evidence. Learning the facts involved in a personal injury cases, whether it’s an auto accident, slip and fall, physical attack, product liability, nursing home abuse or construction accident. A skilled investigator can help you find people and information; assets, find witnesses, photographs crash scenes, testify in court, and help you settle or win your case. Investigators thrive on answering the seemingly unanswerable question and solving the problem no one else has yet to resolve.

Witness Statements

An investigator can also look for witnesses, someone who may live or work in the area and was there at the time of the crash and may have information or evidence as to what happened. Sometimes witnesses are identified poorly on the crash report or the information is incomplete. It’s crucial to follow-up on witness statements as quickly as possible to get a fresh perspective and possible evidence. Also, it is a good idea to obtain the police transcription of the 911 call and speak with the 911 caller. Too often the 911 caller is the best and, or only witness. There have been too many cases where the individual drives away without the officer documenting the witness’s contact information on the crash report. Many people have cell phones capable of recording video and audio and often videotape incidents and are willing to share the video if it may help someone.
