Personal Injury Defense Litigation

Personal Injury Case Investigation and Defense

A personal injury lawsuit can be an extremely sensitive matter for all those involved. From the moment a client contacts us about an injury that has occurred, the attorneys on our Personal Injury Defense Litigation Team spring into action to investigate the circumstances of the injury and identify information and evidence that may need to be gathered and preserved to help defend against a potential claim or lawsuit. We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients, and counsel them on the information and evidence that will need to be gathered to best protect and defend their interests. For example, the successful defense of a personal injury claim may entail or involve evidence consisting of, or derived from:

• Security videos or photographs
• Cell phone data and call histories
• Audio recordings
• Data from Event Data Recorders (EDRs)
• DNA evidence
• Burn or fire patterns
• Bodycam footage
• News or media reports
• Eyewitness accounts
• Physical evidence gathered at the scene
• Social media data or postings
• Weather data and reports
• Financial records
• Destructive testing
• Accident reconstruction
• Crash testing and accident recreation

In many instances, time is of the essence if these items are to be preserved or maintained, and outside expertise may be required to obtain access to these items. Where necessary, our attorneys draw upon an extensive network of experts developed over years of practice to make sure that our clients get the help they need, whether in the form of background investigations, accident reconstruction, engineering, human factors, biomechanics, or a host of other disciplines that can be brought to bear as needed. Our attorneys also know how to read and interpret medical records, find qualified doctors to provide opinion testimony as needed, and evaluate personal injury exposure based on the injuries sustained by the claimant or plaintiff.

If you need an attorney to defend a personal injury action, the sooner you call the sooner we can bring the full resources of our Personal Injury Defense Litigation Team to your defense.
