WITNESS STATEMENT

Place your trust in Plaintiff's Investigative Firm for your witness statement needs. We will investigate the background of key witnesses to ensure reliability and veracity. Our statements are recorded digitally and are transcribed upon request.

Our investigators are trained and experienced in the nuances of interviewing. When conducting an interview, our investigators obtain as much information as possible without leading the witness, and record the statement to ensure accuracy. Comprehensive witness statements can be complex; the interviewer must question the witness regarding every detail, and contemporaneously document the witnesses accounts accordingly.

Our multicultural and bilingual investigators can obtain statements in several languages, including English, Spanish, and Creole.

Plaintiff’s Investigative Firm conducts an in-depth online investigation of your subject(s), across all primary search engines and social media sites, including, but not limited to Google, Yahoo, Bing, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Yelp, Trip Advisor, and Google Reviews, to determine their level of online activity, and uncover any public posts, references, or articles which may reflect prior knowledge of the incident’s precursor. All information is provided to the client via an investigative report, and all documents are preserved via PDF.

PREMISES LIABILITY INVESTIGATION

Premises liability insurance allows victims injured on a property to hold owners accountable when they fail to act reasonably in identifying, fixing, and/or warning patrons about dangerous conditions.

Determining whether a property owner can be held liable for injuries on its land, however, depends on the individual facts of the case; in other words, whether, and to what degree a “duty of care” existed depends on the circumstances surrounding the incident. Because premises liability cases are largely fact-specific situations, a one-size-fits-all approach is not advisable.

At Plaintiffs’ Investigative Firm, we take calculated steps to avoid “tunnel vision” by conducting what we refer to as a “post-due-diligence investigation” to determine whether the property owner used all reasonable precautions in safeguarding its patrons.

NEGLIGENT SECURITY

Negligent security is a type of premises liability in which a lawsuit can be filed due to a criminal or violent act that occurs on a property. In this case, the victim files a claim against the property owner or manager because of incidents such as assault, theft, a shooting, or other instances occurring on the property due to inadequate security.

Property owners are expected to maintain adequate security on their property to protect third parties from dangerous conditions, such as the previously referenced scenarios. In a negligent security lawsuit, the property owner must have failed to provide reasonable security measures which may have prevented the incident or reduced its severity.

For example, if the property owner fails to provide lighting or security in the parking lot, and a third party suffers damages, the owner can be held liable. Typically, negligent security lawsuits are filed against shopping malls, schools, garages, retail stores, hospitals, and nightclubs.

In a negligent security lawsuit, there are several components the plaintiff needs to prove. Including that they were on the defendant's property lawfully, and that the property owner failed to provide reasonable security, the lack of which contributed to injuries sustained by the plaintiff while on the property.

Foreseeability is an important component that refers to whether similar incidents on the property could have made the incident in question foreseeable. It is an essential factor used to prove negligent security, what constitutes reasonable security? For example, should the property require security guards, particular lighting standards, security cameras, locked access points, etc? Plaintiffs' investigative firm has developed a standard operating procedure for investigating cases involving negligent security.
