Forensic Surveying

Forensic surveys are often required for litigation, lawsuits, trials or hearings. The cases may range from criminal cases to civil and personal injury litigation. They typically require the location of information regarding the conditions at the time of the incident as well as the location of evidence related to the incident.

In cases involving an automobile or truck crash, evidence might include:

Skidmarks, Tire prints, Gasoline and Water puddles, Location of injured or killed immediately after accident, Location of vehicles immediately after accident, Gouges in shoulder or banks, Damage to fixed objects (signs, traffic light poles, building, etc.). In cases involving industrial accidents, evidence might include:

The location of injured or killed immediately after the accident, Location any equipment involved in the incident, Location of materials and debris related to or impacting the incident, etc. In cases involving real property boundary disputes, evidence might include:

The location of deed lines, lines of possession, lines of occupation, the location of improvements that may be encroaching across any of the listed lines, documentation of parol (verbal) evidence gathered regarding the issues involved in the dispute, etc.

Courtroom presentation plats

The data and related interpretations are then prepared for inclusion into evidence. These are often prepared to depict crime scenes, accidents, locations, boundary line disputes, riparian rights, determinations, and the like. These plats are often rendered in color, or otherwise enhanced for clarity, to assist in making clear presentations to the judge, and often the jury.

Expert witness testimony

Information gathered as a result of a Forensic Survey and any exhibits prepared may be used: by expert witnesses when presenting testimony in a legal proceeding (such as an accident reconstruction specialist in the case of a crash or industrial accident); by eyewitnesses in explaining their relationship to the scene of the incident; or by our Registered Professional Land Surveyor when testifying regarding the facts of the case. On occasion, our surveyor might be engaged as a consultant by the attorneys in preparing their case, but may not be required to testify.
