Civil and Criminal Checks:
The county and civil records search provides a quick way to learn if a person or company is involved in any litigation. The data comes directly from the individual counties and contains filings of court cases containing all plaintiffs, defendants, case numbers, and dates of filings. The type of filings available does vary from county to county, but generally every type of filing is available, as this is a hand search of county court records. The search goes back 7 years. A  criminal record is a list of past crimes an individual has been convicted of. In the United States, these compilations are maintained and updated on the local, state, and federal levels by various law enforcement agencies. Its primary goal is to provide a comprehensive criminal history for an individual to be used for many purposes, including for identification, assistance in developing suspects in an ongoing criminal investigation, and for enhanced sentencing in criminal prosecutions. In the United States, these compilations are unlikely to be admissible in court as proof of arrest or conviction.

Public Liability:
Public Liability is part of the law of tort which focuses on civil wrongs. Appliants (the injured party) usually sues the respondent (the owner or occupier) under common law based on negligence and/or damages. Claims are usually successful when it can be shown that the owner/occupier was responsible for an injury therefore they breached their duty of care.

The most common types of claims fall into a small number of categories:

• Slips trips and falls, make up the majority of claims
• Stress and anxiety, due to hold ups, elevator malfunction and
• Falling objects ie striking against or struck by

Litigation Support:
Successful litigation depends on obtaining critical information from victims, witnesses and other individuals. Litigation support consultants and services help law firms to prepare attorneys trying a case.

This includes:

• Document review
• Interviewing witnesses
• Case preparation

In each case, because I-X pays money to X which otherwise D would have had to pay, the law permits I-X to enforce X's rights against D to recover some or all of what I-X has paid out. A very simple (and common) example of subrogation would be as follows:

• D drives a car negligently and damages X's car as a result.
• X, the insured party, has Collision insurance, and claims (i.e., asks for payment) under his policy against I-X, his insurer.
• I-X pays in full to have X's car repaired.
• I-X then sues D for negligence to recoup some or all of the sums paid out to X.
• I-X receives the full amount of any amounts recovered in the action against D up to the amount to which I-X indemnified X. X retains none of the proceeds of the action against D except to the extent that they exceed the amount that I-X paid to X.

Written and Recorded Statements:
The purpose for the recorded or written statement is to keep someone from changing their story at a later time.  Another purpose is to give the employer's attorney or claims adjuster an opportunity to twist the words of the worker to use against the worker at a later time.  Many workers have made the mistake of inferring good intentions to their employer after an on the job injury.  "I thought I would give them the benefit of the doubt" is a common thought heard from workers when they call a lawyer explaining how their company twisted their words and put words into their mouths.

Accident/Loss Scene Investigations:
When a person dies an investigation is made to learn if a criminal act contributed to the death. Only when a person dies from natural causes while under medical attention is this not done. It is important that deaths be looked into properly. To tell if a death is homicide, suicide, or accident requires skilled training and experience of an investigator and the technical expertise of examiners at a crime lab.

Alive and Well Checks:
Sometimes people lose track of a loved one or a friend, their telephone is disconnected, their mail is being redirected and you can’t find them to make sure they are ok.  By locating your loved one and then performing a welfare check we are then able to insure they are ok. Telephones, computers, and courthouse records provide a thorough paper trail on just about anyone. It is a rare case when a person is trying to disappear. When this does occur, our investigators have the resources to aid the clients. Typically, these investigations involve a great deal of communication between the investigator and the client.
