Featured Case Study: Motor Vehicle Collision (Legal Investigation)
A monthly synopsis of a legal investigation or expert consultation case of unique evidence & circumstances.

In October 2018 our agency was retained by the driver a vehicle struck by an oncoming pickup truck at municipal
intersection controlled by traffic signals at all directions and left-turn lanes. The client was cited by the local police
agency with failure to yield to oncoming traffic. The adverse driver was cited for failing to stop at a red light.

The client’s statement was she driving westbound and stopped at a green light in the left-turn lane. When oncoming
traffic was clear, she proceeded on a yellow light and was then struck about ¾ into completing her turn. She was not
aware of the collision impact until after coming to a rest. She was transported by ambulance to the local hospital and
contacted in the Emergency Room by the investigating police officer, where she was cited and informed the adverse
driver was also cited. It should be noted, the citation was completed before the investigating officer contacted the
client.

This is one of many expert consultations we have found where uncovering undisclosed evidence answers the evidentiary
questions.

What were the circumstances? What was the evidence? What were the findings?

>> Private Investigator Standards of Practice & Ethics
Understand the importance of standards of practice, and related ethics, in protecting yourself, your agency, and your
client – as well as our profession. Standards of practice, and related ethics, are essential business protections and are
often required in licensing programs, association memberships, and certification processes. The guidance provided here
is fairly universal and professional standards all investigators must follow, particularly if retained by an attorney as their
agent. A violation of ethics can be harmful to a case or relationship, even professional licensure can be disciplined for a
violation. For these reasons, it is important that all parties are made aware of these ethics and are guided by them.
