Personal Injury Attorney Services
Obtain Better Verdicts and Larger Settlements for Your Clients
“Is the person responsible for this incident able to provide relief for my client?” This is the most important question facing a personal injury attorney when an injured party contacts their office about an accident. The personal injury is the result of an incident that was caused by the neglect of someone else, and the injured party has incurred extraordinary medical expenses and loss of income and perhaps other continuing and grievous losses. Often times, there are questions arising from a personal injury claim that cannot be answered by reading a police report. When faced with a complex case, you will need the assistance of a legal investigator.
Trace Investigations assists plaintiff attorneys by:
Conducting accident site inspections and investigations.
Interviewing the client, witnesses, police officers and other first responders.
Canvasing neighborhoods and businesses looking for witnesses.
Conducting background and asset investigations on litigation targets.

Determination of Evidence Value: Knowledge of the value of witness statements and other evidence, obtained before proceeding with litigation.
Responsible Party Determinations: Assistance in the determination of the liability of responsible parties.
Achieve Better Settlements: Identification of assets available for financial relief beyond insurance policy limits.
FAQs

For almost a quarter of a century, we have assisted plaintiff attorneys in many aspects of their work for injured parties. This includes accident site examinations, first responder contact, witness locates and interviews, and asset investigations to determine resources for satisfying plaintiff losses due to the negligent acts of others.

Because of the volume of the case load at any given moment, we use a team approach, saving our clients time and money. A complex case is best served if tasks are divided among those with special skills. For example, on a complex personal injury investigation, one investigator may be interviewing witnesses and obtaining statements, a researcher may be obtaining court documents and other records and a case manager in the office will be reviewing the work to date, getting it ready to present to the client in a clear, clean and precise format.
