Transform an uncertain case into a successful settlement! Insurance premiums are growing! Millions of dollars are spent each day to investigate fraudulent injuries and vehicle damage and to pay spurious claims resulting from low speed automobile collisions. It is of vital importance to be able to differentiate spurious claims from legitimate ones through appropriate investigation techniques and complete and thorough documentation. Low speed collisions are difficult to analyze because there is often little or no physical evidence and statements taken from drivers, passengers and witnesses lack depth and detail. If proper photographs are not taken early and interviews are not conducted with knowledge of what is needed by reconstruction specialists or SIU, determination of the proper disposition of a claim is problematic at best. In this volume, you will learn how to overcome common problems and deficiencies in the investigation of low speed automobile collisions. In this book, you will learn to take timely photographs properly and interpret those photographs for revealing clues. You will learn how to conduct effective interviews, get the information you need, and detect when someone is being untruthful or evasive. You will know how biomechanics and occupant kinematics affect your case. In the end, you will be better equipped to investigate and document low speed automobile collisions, reach the appropriate conclusion and arrive at a fair and just disposition of your case. The companion volume to: Low Speed Automobile Accidents: Accident Reconstruction and Occupant Kinematics, Dynamics and Biomechanics. TOPICS INCLUDE Knowing fraud when you see it Photographing vehicles and vehicle damage Statements, interviews, memory and deception The importance of eyewitness evidence Digital photography versus film photography Using statements and photographs Case studies in fraud detection
