ACCIDENT
Police departments take information, but they do not have the resources to perform a thorough investigation for every "routine" accident. This may be fine for everyone else, but when it is your accident there is nothing "routine" about it.
You may be injured, or you may be the target of a lawsuit due to other injuries. You may be an insurance company trying to get to the bottom of what really happened. Merrill’s Investigations is here to help.
Merrill's accident investigation specialists will locate and interview potential witnesses, assess the veracity of their statements, and provide an opinion on how each may perform as a witness in court. Our investigators will evaluate police reports for accuracy and thoroughness. They will examine the scene to ensure all of the evidence was identified and recorded.
Time is of the essence, so contact Merrill's as soon as possible. Our experience reveals that witness memories fade almost as quickly as physical evidence at the crash scene.
