The first 72 hours after a Northern Virginia crash decide the case. This is the evidence preservation checklist insurance carriers, SIU units, and personal injury law firms should be running before Day Three: scene documentation, vehicle preservation, video canvas (overwrite cycles 3 to 30 days), witnesses, social media, spoliation letters, and Northern Virginia specific factors.
In Virginia, one percent of fault can bar recovery entirely. That makes early accident reconstruction and personal injury investigation critical. PLRG helps insurance carriers, SIU units, defense firms, and plaintiff attorneys preserve evidence, document accident scenes, locate witnesses, canvas video, investigate claimant activity, and build court ready evidence packages across Northern Virginia.
