Witness interviews & locates, Scene Documentation & Investigative Fact-Finding

Bedan Investigation & Litigation Support provides field investigative services and litigation support for attorneys, law firms, insurance carriers, TPAs, businesses, and other authorized clients requiring independent factual inquiries and documentation.

Our services assist with identifying and locating witnesses, developing relevant facts, documenting incident locations, obtaining available evidence, and supporting the investigative needs of civil litigation and insurance-related matters.

We recognize the importance of timely investigative action, particularly when witness recollections may fade, physical conditions may change, or potentially relevant evidence may become unavailable.

Our focus is on objective fact development, accurate documentation, and professional reporting that can assist attorneys and other clients in evaluating the circumstances of a matter.

1. Our Capabilities

Witness Identification, Location and Interviews

Investigative assistance in identifying potential witnesses, developing contact information, locating individuals, and conducting interviews to obtain relevant factual accounts concerning incidents, disputes, or other matters under investigation.

Accident Scene Inspections and Documentation

Field visits to accident or incident locations to document observable conditions, physical surroundings, roadway features, visibility considerations, and other relevant site characteristics.

Photographic and Video Evidence Collection

Photographic and video documentation of incident locations, property conditions, physical features, and other relevant subjects, together with efforts to identify and obtain existing footage when lawfully available.

Property Loss Observations

On-site observations and documentation of visible property conditions, reported damage, and surrounding circumstances relevant to insurance claims, disputes, or other investigative matters.

2. When This Service May Be Appropriate

• An attorney needs to identify, locate, or interview a witness.
• An accident or incident location requires independent documentation.
• Photographs, video footage, or other potential evidence need to be identified promptly.
• A claim or lawsuit involves disputed factual circumstances.
• A property loss requires on-site factual observations.
• Relevant witnesses or parties cannot be located using available contact information.
• Existing documentation is incomplete or additional investigative development is required.
• Time-sensitive evidence may be at risk of alteration, deletion, or loss.

3. Our Investigative Approach

Assignments begin with a review of the client's objectives, relevant case information, investigative priorities, and any applicable deadlines.

Depending on the circumstances, field activities may include visiting incident locations, contacting witnesses, conducting interviews, photographing relevant conditions, making appropriate inquiries, and identifying potential sources of additional evidence.

For attorney-directed matters, investigative work is coordinated according to the instructions of counsel, including any applicable communication, confidentiality, and documentation requirements.

Observations and information obtained during field activities are recorded accurately. Investigative findings are distinguished from assumptions, interpretations, or information that has not been independently verified.

When potentially time-sensitive evidence is identified, relevant developments are communicated to the client so that appropriate preservation or follow-up decisions can be made.

4. Reporting and Deliverables

Depending on the assignment, clients may receive:

• Written field investigation reports.
• Witness contact and interview summaries.
• Recorded or written witness statements, when obtained.
• Accident or incident scene photographs.
• Digital video documentation, when obtained.
• Property condition observations and supporting photographs.
• Evidence identification and preservation-related documentation.
• Subject-location research findings.
• Summaries of additional investigative leads or unresolved factual issues.

Documentation is prepared according to the assignment requirements, with attention to clarity, accuracy, and appropriate handling of collected materials.
