Though “car accident” is a pretty recognizable umbrella term, the reality is that there are numerous kinds of car accidents with varying degrees of injury and fallout. In this week’s episode of The Personal Injury Gury, David Papa is joined by Mike Peasely, a retired Sheriff’s Deputy and current private investigator who specializes in accident investigations. Mr. Peasely talks through the numerous factors that go into a thorough accident investigation, from the numerous forms that must be filled out to the thorough on-the-ground research that must be conducted in order to make sure everything is accounted for.

Mr. Peasely talks through the impact that technology, like camera phones, can have on accident investigations, urging individuals to take photos of their accident scenes as soon as possible, as long as it’s safe to do so. He talks about the protocols that officers and investigators take in the immediate aftermath of an accident and how those protocols differ based on the level of injury that victims of the accident experience (for fatalities and serious injuries, for example, the standard protocol is to block off roads). To learn more about the details that comprise a professional car accident investigation, be sure to listen to this week’s episode of The Personal Injury Guru in its entirety.
