The gathering of evidence to determine what happened and who is responsible.

An investigation is a critical process in personal injury cases, as it involves collecting evidence like police reports, witness statements, and medical records to establish liability and damages. Thorough investigations are often necessary to build a strong case and maximize the potential settlement. The findings can influence the legal procedure and timeline of your case, including whether an indictment is pursued in related criminal matters. Legal funding companies like Express Legal Funding consider the strength of the investigation when determining eligibility for pre-settlement funding.
