Accident Reconstruction & Personal Injury Archives - Private Investigator Services

Claimant surveillance in Northern Virginia: what is lawful, what crosses into trespass or stalking under Virginia Code 18.2-60.3, what makes evidence admissible at trial, and the surveillance timing windows (post incident, around IMEs, event based) that consistently produce high value documentation.

Virginia's pure contributory negligence rule bars recovery when plaintiff fault is any part of the cause. The doctrine, the narrow exceptions (last clear chance, gross negligence, seatbelt inadmissibility, sudden emergency, children), and the investigative evidence that moves fault determinations in Northern Virginia circuit courts.

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.
