Frequently Asked Questions

When should personal injuries investigations begin?
Personal injuries investigations should begin immediately after accidents occur. Evidence disappears quickly including witness memories fading, surveillance footage being deleted or overwritten, scene conditions changing, physical evidence being removed or altered, and witnesses relocating. Early investigation preserves critical evidence supporting liability determinations and damages claims. Our Orange County and San Diego team provides immediate response for urgent accident investigations ensuring evidence preservation before it's lost permanently.
How long do personal injuries investigations take?
Personal injuries investigations timelines vary based on accident complexity, witness availability, evidence volume, and investigation scope. Simple accident investigations may complete within days, while complex cases involving multiple parties, technical issues, or extensive witness searches require weeks or months. Scene investigation typically completes quickly, but comprehensive investigation including witness location, interviews, and evidence analysis requires additional time. We provide timeline estimates during consultations based on specific case requirements.
Do personal injuries investigations benefit both plaintiffs and defendants?
Yes, professional personal injuries investigations benefit both plaintiff and defense cases. Plaintiffs need thorough investigation establishing liability, causation, and damages supporting compensation claims. Defendants require comprehensive investigation revealing defense evidence, identifying contributory negligence, documenting pre-existing conditions, and locating defense witnesses. Objective investigation serves justice by establishing facts regardless of which party benefits from truth. Our investigations focus on factual evidence supporting accurate case evaluation.
Can personal injuries investigations locate witnesses years after accidents?
While immediate witness location is preferable, our investigators successfully locate witnesses months or years after accidents through database searches, social media investigation, public records research, neighborhood canvassing, and investigative techniques. Success depends on available information and time elapsed. Many witnesses remain locatable through professional investigation even when initial witness identification was incomplete. We employ multiple search methods maximizing witness location success rates for Orange County and San Diego cases.
What areas do personal injuries investigations cover?
Our personal injuries investigations serve all Orange County locations including Irvine, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach, Dana Point, and surrounding areas. In San Diego County, we serve La Jolla, Del Mar, Coronado, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, and greater San Diego. We investigate accidents throughout Southern California and other states when cases involve our California-based clients. Our investigators travel to accident locations regardless of where incidents occurred.
How much do personal injuries investigations cost?
Personal injuries investigations costs depend on investigation scope, complexity, required services, and time investment. Scene investigation, witness interviews, and basic evidence gathering have specific costs. Comprehensive investigations involving extensive witness searches, surveillance, expert coordination, and detailed analysis cost more. We provide transparent pricing with detailed estimates during consultations. Many attorneys and clients find professional investigation essential for case success, with investigation costs typically recoverable through settlements or judgments in successful cases.
