HISTORICAL ANALYIS OF THE ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE INJURY

Mr. Cooper has assisted attorneys in litigating cases of wrongful death.  With these type cases it is imperative to be able to obtain and evaluate the scene as soon as possible.  Many of these cases also involve criminal charges that lead to lengthy litigation in criminal courts.  If the scene is not processed as soon as possible and information gathered, the information may not be available until the conclusion of the criminal case.

Retaining the services of a private investigator with the experience to handle this type situation and evaluate the information is crucial to the outcome.  Even once all the evidence and data has been collected or received from the law enforcement agencies, emergency medical providers and witnesses, it is critical that a thorough evaluation be conducted.
