Accident Investigation

In the event of a crash involving a commercial vehicle it is important to have a qualified investigator examine the scene as soon as possible.

Evidence is too often lost or destroyed in the process of moving vehicles and equipment away from the crash scene.

Evidence can also be lost or altered when the vehicles are stored in unsecured yards and warehouses. Weather can also be a determining factor in whether evidence is preserved or not.

It is important in any investigation to preserve as much evidence as possible to determine causation and preventability. This information is obviously relevant to any litigation arising from the crash. It also assists in reducing future crashes of the same nature.

Modern technology has dramatically increased the amount and type of data available to the investigator. Peter Philbrick can assist in identifying the data that is available or should have been available in the event of evidence that is lost due to crash damage, neglect or tampering.

Deposition and trial testimony are provided when needed in the course of the investigation.
