Accident Investigations

Even if you are the victim in a car accident, the at-fault party and their insurer often try to place the blame on you.   It is a mistake to rely on photos and police reports to prove you are not liable because they offer limited protection against those making a false claim.  To adequately protect yourself, it is critical to seek the help of an experienced professional private investigator in Tampa.  Typically, law enforcement agencies are buried in hundreds of car accident investigations and simply don’t have the time or resources to thoroughly investigate all of the claims for potential fraud.  Spy Tech America inc in Tampa has conducted hundreds of accident investigations for numerous law firms and individuals.  Our experienced, professional accident investigators are trained to protect our clients against fraudulent claims.

This part of accident investigations is a complex process that requires experienced, trained accident reconstruction experts skilled in the process of using physics and mathematics to determine the speeds of the vehicles and their relative positions throughout the entire accident sequence.  Investigator reviews, at a minimum pre-and post-impact direction of travel, the length of skid marks, the post-impact distances moved, friction levels for the various surfaces of the road, point of impact, impact angles, and the weights of the vehicles.
