Providing A Thorough Investigation
Many times a police investigation incorrectly blames a driver for an accident. When we conduct a more complete investigation with highly qualified accident experts, we frequently are able to prove the accident was caused by a defect in the vehicle or by a dangerous road condition. It is essential that the accident vehicle be preserved and stored promptly after an accident. Vehicles that are totally damaged are often crushed soon after an accident. The vehicle must be preserved in order to successfully pursue an automotive defect case. We can purchase and store your vehicle while we investigate your accident.
