A civil investigation covers a wide spectrum of activities including divorce cases, due diligence, contracts and other business situations. Court ordered enforcement falls to the state. But civil investigations are the purview of the private investigator.
Due Diligence Investigation Services
Due diligence is the reasonable steps by a person or legal entity in order to satisfy a legal requirement, to avoid harm to others persons and property. It is particularly applicable to real estate law. Failure to perform due diligence can result in a weakened claim if civil litigation ensues at a later time. Basically the law says that there are certain things that a reasonable person will require to ensure no harm results due to negligence, fraud or ensure the value of the property and both parties adherence to any contracts. Such things as title insurance and other steps are taken to certify the transfer of propriety and rights of both parties.
Background Checks
When entering into a contractual agreement between individuals and business entities, a background check would provide invaluable intelligence for making decisions. Company performance, nature and number of civil ligation the entity is implicated in, or the reputation for honesty and fairness in business dealings etc are a primary concern. This would strengthen the claims of the aggrieved party if due diligence was adhered to.
How to Prove Adultery in a Divorce
Marriage is a contractual agreement between two individuals. A divorce is a civil process to nullify the marriage and to consider the status of assets and obligations of the parties. Primary or equal custody of children are of particular concern. Consideration of the disposition or joint property, i.e. vehicles, furniture, and real estate are on the agenda. The claim of adulterous relationships of one party is a primary consideration for hiring a professional investigator to prove unfaithfulness strengthening the position of the aggrieved party.
Workers Compensation & Personal Injury Investigations
Other actions involve workers comp or personal injury investigations. In civil litigation a preponderance of evidence is needed to prove a case, not beyond a reasonable doubt as in criminal proceedings. The private investigator is tasked in providing this evidence, regardless of which party he represents. In the areas of worker compensation and job injury cases an element of fraud persists in many instances. The injured victim may make fraudulent claims to extend or increase compensation due to injury, while business will strive to diminish the claims to preserve capital.
Assets in a Civil Lawsuit
When civil litigations are considered, the assets of the defendant are of primary importance to the plaintiff. If there is a death of recoverable assets, prosecution of litigation may not be economically feasible. Legal process is very expensive. Attorney’s routinely will take a third of any award. Court costs, attorney costs and filing costs can exceed any expectations of resources recover from the accused. In other words litigation may not be cost effective. To ascertain the value of assets held by the defendant a Net Worth statement and a list of assets needs to be prepared.
Witness Statements
Other actions include malpractice, class action suits, forfeiture, probate issues, libel and slander, wrongful death and missing persons. Witness identification and location, vetting of witnesses, particularly expert witnesses and other services are provided by private investigators retained by attorneys of either party to the litigation.
