Can’t Find Your Client? Witness? or the Defect?? 5 Proactive Steps

Posted on March 19, 2013 by Lina Maini

lost and found

Every attorney has his/her own intake survey (generally varying by incident type) and method of working a case.  Below are several situations that our investigators have experienced in the field, and recommendations based on these incidents.  We hope these observations serve a proactive purpose in keeping a case in check.

1. Your client’s emergency contacts.

Situation: On numerous occasions we’ve had to locate a client that has moved without notifying his/her attorney.

Recommendation:  Obtain the complete contact information of at least 2 relatives and 2 friends NOT living with the client.  (Drilling deeper,  obtain the DOBs of the emergency contacts.  This may appear to be a rather aggressive suggestion but,  at least 2 of these 4 contacts should be within the 25 – 45 years old range.  Obtain an email address as these are often traceable. )

 

2.  The witnesses.

Situation: I’m sure you’ve all seen a PAR w/a witness listed as “Johnny, 917-555-1234″. (or same, similarly incomplete police report).   No address, no surname and a cell phone that may or may not be active in 2 weeks, let alone 2 years.

Recommendation(s):  1. Call “Johnny” immediately.  Obviously,  the first objective is to determine his knowledge of events regarding your client’s matter.  2. Obtain his contact information and an identifier.  (Again we suggest DOB.  Many people are reluctant to release their SSN.)  3. Obtain an emergency contact for him.   4.  Check the contact info every 6  months until the case is resolved.

 

3. Professional photographs of the accident scene, especially if citing defect or disrepair. 

Situation:   Several years ago, we had an exterior premises  trip and fall situation wherein we were called to investigate the scene approximately 4 months post-incident.  The injured person made several natural and unintentional mistakes: 1. Not realizing the extent of his injuries, he did not call 911.  There were no on-site witnesses and no responder witnesses, and  2. When he returned a week or so later, after receiving medical attention, he’d taken photos of the accident scene but the shots contained shadows running across the defect rendering it difficult to determine the exact nature and severity of the  defect.   He was to go back and re-shoot the scene but did not.  4 months later, no defect, no repair record.  The homeowner, of course, knew nothing.  Good luck with an area canvass among neighbors.

Recommendation: Send out a professional to photograph the accident scene ASAP.  Don’t expect the client to return and accurately record the scene.  Bear in mind, however, that the defect may have permanently “disappeared” and there may not always be a repair record.

From our good friend, http://www.stus.com:

 car accident

4.  If it seems weird; it probably is.  Check all possible contributory factors.

Situation:  Claimant fell UP the stairs.  She wasn’t carrying bags, wore flat shoes; no drugs or alcohol were involved.  No defects, liquids or debris on the ground.

Recommendation: Measure everything.  After taking detailed step and rail measurements, we realized that a) the steps were unequally sized – from the height between them to the protruding lip of each step (which was excessive at the point where she was caused to trip and b) the rail would have been out of reach from her position regardless, with no secondary wall rail in place.   Rarely do people slip, trip or fall for no reason (unless there is an underlying medical condition.)

 

5. Always check to see if drugs and alcohol were involved. (Defense)

Situation:  Building maintenance crew member claims to have fallen off of a defective ladder.  The ACR showed extremely high bp readings; 3 taken at 15 minute intervals by responding EMS.   Beyond what would be expected even in a stressful situation.

Recommendation: Check the medical history.  The individual was on Lipitor and had not taken his medication as prescribed for several days preceding his fall.  (He’d also commented to several co-workers earlier on the day of incident that he was feeling “dizzy”.)  There was absolutely nothing wrong with the ladder, the area surrounding it, nor was he working at a height requiring specialized safety equipment.

Our Operatives: Investigative minds at work.

As always, stay safe.

Subject Locates: Successful Ones v. Expensive Failures

Posted on July 31, 2012 by Lina Maini

One of the most common assignments we receive is for a subject locate.  Usually generated from attorneys, insurance companies, financial institutions (as, as you know, we do not work for individuals), we are often asked to locate:

- Adverse Witnesses

- Cooperative Witnesses

- Debtors

- Clients

- Heirs

- Etc.

The difference between a successful locate and an expensive failure is how much attention and care is given to a case.  Obvious, right?  But it has to be the right attention, which is a tight focus, and the proper care; to detail.

The starting point in a successful locate is to gather as much information from the originating requestor as possible:

Name: AKAs, Extensions (Jr., III, MD, Esq…), Maiden form, prior marriage form

Address: Last known contact date at this address, form of contact, (e.g. mail, phone… ), contact outcome, ( i.e. returned mail, no response, etc.).

Phone Number:  Last known phone number, cell, landline, Skype, other internet phone.

Personal identifiers: DOB, SSN, TIN, DL#, Medicare/caid recipient? School i.d.?

Contacts: Family, friends, employers, coworkers

Prior lawsuits: If known, to include form of involvement.

Civil records: Is/was the subject married, divorced? Has s/he declared bankruptcy or have judgments, liens… against him/her?

Criminal records:  Almost every state now allows for an inmate lookup.  (If a person is missing for a considerable period of time, there are only so many scenarios, short of a bizarre abduction, to account for this disappearance: a move, death or incarceration.)

A good investigator will then form a profile of the missing subject and conduct an address history search which will generally yield a pattern.  (We’ll get to that in the next para.)  The address history may not contain the subject’s current address. (All databases, from DMVs to privately held, fee-based information companies operate within the limitations of data input regularity.  The subject may not release his/her most current address to an agency.  P.O. box registration is no assurance of a current address either.  If it is a planned moved, one simply has to apply and receive the P.O. box prior to moving and generate forwarding from the old address.)

Having created the profile, the investigator now looks for the pattern.  Is the subject constantly relocating?  Staying within a certain geographical area?  Is s/he beholden to a mortgage?   Has s/he foreclosed?  An address history search will also almost always reveal family member information.

Once the profile and pattern have been formed and detected, the investigator must decide on a course of action. The approach will determine if the locate will be successful.   Each investigator has his/her own technique but there is a different methodology applied between “friendly” locates and those involving people who’ve intentionally chosen to stay or go off the grid.   A sharp investigator will know how to entice a friendly subject and not tip off an adverse one.   That knowledge comes with experience and skill and a great deal of curiosity.

As a final step, an investigator may have to physically check an address to verify the subject’s address.  By arriving to this point, all other methods of locating have been exhausted but valuable knowledge on the  subject gained. (The location should be thoroughly researched before heading out to the field.  Showing up on a private road on 2 acres of land in the middle of nowhere is usually not going to result in a productive session.  Suggestion: Google Earth.  There should also be an established strategy to observe the location, discreetly,  within a restricted time span of when the subject’s presence is most anticipated.  If covert observation is not possible, the game plan must be thought out prior to, and include at least Plans A, B and C. )   Below; lack of a plan:

Finally, if your investigator returns with an address, ask that it be “verified”.  If there is  no confirmation that the subject is at the reported location, and the requestor is not made aware of the nonverification, a costly situation for the requestor may result, financially and with regard to negotiation stance.   If  the locate results are not verifiable, (and that occurs, although that number should be in the single digits, percentage-wise, in a competent investigator’s record), the requester will at least have that knowledge with which to make decisions.

Our operatives: A step ahead.

As always, stay safe.

He Said; She Said; We Should: Interview Intake Form

Posted on February 27, 2012 by Lina Maini

As we are all well aware, federal and state laws prohibit prospective employers from asking certain questions that are not related to the job they are hiring for. Questions should not be used to find out personal information. In a nutshell, employers should not be asking about your race, gender, religion,  disabilities, ethnic background, sexual preferences or age.

During the witness statement interview, however, investigators are not looking to hire the witness but rather to find out just as much personal information as possible. As we mentioned in a recent post, witnesses can make, break or mitigate a trial lawyer’s case. It can take several years for a case to reach the point of serious negotiation or trial. The issue may then be finding a relocated witness. For that reason, the investigative specialist needs to gather as much personal information from the witness as possible during the initial interview. (We do caution the interviewer to employ a bit of tact as most of the fields on the Interview Intake Form can be filled in without direct questioning of the witness.

How To Detect A Lie, Part I of II

Posted on November 28, 2011 by Lina Maini

Lie detection has always been an area of fascination among people, especially those of us involved in the law, legal and investigative fields.

There are basically three techniques (utilizing brain responses v.  those that rely on a machine interpreting physical responses, i.e. the polygraph) that are currently used, and uncomfortably, the latter two, making their way into courts all over the world as “proof” of testimony veracity; NLP (neuro linguistic programming) , EEG (electroencephalogram) and the newest toy of the lie detection crowd: the fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging).  In Part I of this series, this week’s Bulletin will cover the oldest and machine-free of the techniques: NLP, using your eyes to see through another’s window to the soul.  First we’ll explain the 6 basic directions the eyes travel to when questioned or in thought and then there will be the video displaying these eye movements.

NLP – Visual Accessing Queues

The directions discussed in the video below refer to the direction in which the eyes go when answering a question, or thinking.

  • Up and to the Left : Visually Constructed Images. Asking you to imagine a tremendous spider with fangs and wings.
  • Up and to the Right : Visually Remembered Images. Asking you to picture your favourite food.
  • Left : Auditory Constructed. What the sound of a  rock screaming may sound like? (assuming you haven’t heard one scream before of course)
  • Right : Auditory Remembered. Kapa Kapa Moo Moo Hey!
  • Down and to the Left : Kinesthetic. What did it feel like when you last had paper cut?
  • Down and to the Right : Internal Dialogue. Talking to yourself. What should I do now? Where should I go?

Now for the video:

NOTE: This video was based on right-hand dominant people. For lefties, use reverse directions.

(We know that we will all consciously be eye-balling people for at least the next several days!)

BNI Operatives: A step ahead.

As always, stay safe.

Top Five Comebacks; Interview Intake Form

Posted on January 24, 2010 by Lina Maini

1. ABRAHAM LINCOLN

Abraham Lincoln was not the most attractive presidents but he was in a sense, almost fascinatingly ugly. During a debate, Lincoln was accused by his more hostile opponent of being two-faced. Lincoln managed to accomplish what few men have done before, he defended himself without insulting the other man, and even poked fun at a flaw of his all in the same sentence. Lincoln calmly turned to the crowd and said:

“If I had two faces, do you think I’d be wearing this one?

 

2. MOZART

A young man began a correspondence with Mozart, and the following was exchanged:

Q: “Herr Mozart, I am thinking of writing symphonies. Can you give me any suggestions as to how to get started.”
A: “A symphony is a very complex musical form, perhaps you should begin with some simple lieder and work your way up to a symphony.”
Q: “But Herr Mozart, you were writing symphonies when you were 8 years old.”

A: “But I never asked anybody how.”

3. OSCAR WILDE

Lewis Morris (on being overlooked for the poet laureateship): It is a conspiracy against me – a conspiracy of silence. What should I do?
 

Oscar Wilde: Join it!

 

4. GENERAL PETER COSGROVE

“FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL COSGROVE: We’re going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and
shooting.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That’s a bit irresponsible, isn’t it?

GENERAL COSGROVE: I don’t see why, they’ll be properly supervised on the
rifle range.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don’t you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?

GENERAL COSGROVE: I don’t see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle
discipline before they even touch a firearm.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you’re equipping them to become violent killers.

GENERAL COSGROVE: Well, Ma’am, you’re equipped to be a prostitute,  but you’re not one, are you?

 

5. VOLTAIRE

Voltaire was discussing an acquaintance with a friend, praising him lavishly. The friend then told Voltaire that, unfortunately, the acquaintance had spoken disparagingly of Voltaire and his work.

The pithy reply: “Perhaps we are both mistaken.”

(The above was compiled with help from our friends at toptenz.net.  Thanks!!)

No Ground Markings; No Witnesses – Impact Speed Determination

Posted on November 19, 2007 by Lina Maini

The subject of impact speeds is often one of the most important issues to investigators of pedestrian collisions, particularly if there appears to be a violation of the law. Estimating vehicle speeds, is also crucial in civil cases, as it relates to negligence and liability. The various available techniques in descending order of accuracy, (although this can certainly be subject to interpretation) are:

1. Skid Marks

2. Pedestrian Throw Distance

3. Vehicle Damage

4. Pedestrian Injury

5. Witness/Driver Statements.

In many instances, an accident investigation is not requested for months or years after the incident. Crash investigators have had to reconstruct MVAs where

1. no verifiable skid mark information exists,

2. the pedestrian throw distance is at best a highly subjective calculation and

3. there are vastly different speed estimates from the drivers of the involved singly-occupied accident vehicles.

These factors can make an accident investigation interesting, but not unsolvable for the seasoned reconstructionist. Investigators can resort to calculating impact speeds by vehicle damage – almost always available via repair records and or photographs. Below is a graphic representing vehicle damage relative to impact speed.

Witness Statement Checklist (for MVAs)

Posted on November 12, 2007 by Lina Maini

Witness Statement Checklist (Updated each winter)

Witness statements; seem simple enough. The attorney needs the incident/accident details; recorded in an accurate and concise manner. Often, however, it is the experience of both the seasoned accident investigator and the harried trial lawyer to have obtained a witness statement (usually out in the field) only to realize later that it is not as comprehensive as he or she would have liked. Especially in multi-vehicle accidents with serious/fatal injuries (as in the above vid), the investigator needs to be extremely thorough.

BNI’s founders sought to alleviate this concern for attorneys and conducted an in-depth review of witness statements obtained over the course of its decade in the private investigation field. After a careful study, we’ve created incident-appropriate Witness Statement Checklists for the investigative and trial law professional. This week, we’ve attached a Witness Statement Checklist relating to motor vehicle accidents.

WITNESS STATEMENT CHECKLIST (MVA)
This checklist contains items that must be addressed for a witness statement to be considered complete. One checklist per involved vehicle.

1. WITNESS PEDIGREE (to include name, address, phone # (home, cell, work,) DOB, SSN,employment/scholastic and licensed driver info, and email addresses.

2. WEATHER CONDITIONS (including possible glare)

3. LIGHTING CONDITIONS

4. SURFACE CONDITIONS (roadways, shoulders…)

5. DEBRIS/CONSTRUCTION PRESENT

6. DESCRIPTION OF ROADWAY (# of lanes, travel direction, divider present…)

7. SIGN DEVICES/PRESENCE OF TRAFFIC AGENT

8. DIRECTION OF TRAVEL OF PARTICIPANTS (drivers/pedestrians…)

9. DESCRIPTION OF ACCIDENT (detailed)

10. ALCOHOL/DRUG INVOLVEMENT

11. WHERE WAS THE DRIVER GOING?

12. RATE OF SPEED

13. FORCE OF IMPACT

14. DAMAGE TO VEHICLE (detailed)

15. POSITION OF OCCUPANTS

16. OBSERVABLE INJURIES SUSTAINED (detailed)

17. MEDICAL ATTENTION RECEIVED AT SCENE

18. EMERGENCY/OFFICIAL VEHICLE AND PERSONNEL RESPONSE

19. POSITION OF VEHICLE AFTER IMPACT

20. SUMMONSES ISSUED

21. STATEMENT(S) MADE AT SCENE

22. ADDITIONAL WITNESSES

23. WAS THE VEHICLE TOWED?

To all who have, and those that continue to, serve, our thoughts are with you this Veteran’s Day,

Stay Safe,

Finders Keepers: Securing Witness Contact Information

Posted on June 24, 2007 by Lina Maini

From an investigator’s perspective, few things can be as frustrating as trying to locate a witness a year or more post-accident.

Having conducted innumerable first contact/initial intake surveys, it is our experience that it is critical to obtain as much information on potential witnesses as early on as possible. And. to then immediately reach out to those witnesses and obtain additional contact information. Often, the starting point of any file (once the retainer is secured) is the police accident report – PAR. (For the purpose of maintaining a tight focus, and as the information is applicable to other agencies and incident types as well, we will concentrate on police department PARs) A PAR’s witness information content varies from agency to agency, county to county and even intra-department. An NYPD officer may be thorough and include the witness’ name and address in the PAR’s witness information section. A Yonkers cop may simply jot down the witness’ name and address or phone number in the body of the accident description. Outside of the occasional NYPD officer or State Trooper, there is usually no witness identification verification conducted on scene.

In any case, your firm initially has only the PAR or any info that your client may provide regarding the witness(es). A simple phone call or contact letter within a week or so of accepting a case may not only secure contact information, it begins to establish an association between the witness and your client and can facilitate cooperation down the line.

Understandably, until the issues of accident/incident circumstances, injuries, liability and potential defendants are developed, a law firm may not wish to expend additional energy or monies on non-critical activity. Our experience, however, leans us towards an ounce of prevention when it comes to securing witness information. In an increasingly mobile/transient world, more information is not only better, but necessary. A phone call or contact letter requesting additional info (such as an emergency contact, email, employer info…) can often make the difference later on in obtaining a witness statement… or not. Done correctly, this witness outreach may a) induce the witness to become a more cooperative part of the process, b) begin to imprint a more solid recall of events should testimony become necessary and c) provide additional future contact avenues.

Who, What, Where? Interview Intake Sheet

Posted on March 26, 2007 by Lina Maini

An initial pivotal step in any vehicular accident investigation is to obtain sworn statements from witnesses. In an earlier Bulletin (archived on this blog), we provided a witness statement checklist, which, if followed, should yield a comprehensive and accurate statement.

At the time a witness statement is being recorded, the investigator should also complete a form BNI created, called an Interview Intake Sheet. The information collected in an IIS bolsters the witness’ personal information (dob, ssn, address…) and provides a physical description of said witness. The IIS also includes the field investigator’s assessment of the witness re: memory recall, credibility, personality… Two outstanding benefits of an IIS are information availability to re-locate a witness, if necessary, and the subject’s psychological snapshot.

Quick upload to the law firm of the statement and IIS and the trial lawyer should have a good foundation on which to base immediate future strategy.
