Litigation for negligence
or incompetence of government agencies such as fire departments,
police departments, emergency medical services and other
such providers, requires obtaining the evidence vital to
a successful outcome. Much of this type of evidence is not
immediately recognizable to the law staff or attorney without
assistance from expert consultants. Fire or police operational
standards and established acceptable practices is something
that requires an expert in the field.
Knowing where to look and in unlikely places
is key to the consultant's investigation
of possible negligence by the fire or police agency and
it's employee(s). Once found the evidence needs to be understood
as to it's ramifications of the case prior to possible filing
of a lawsuit by the attorney or law firm.
We Help Find the Evidence
Trutest N.W. consulting experts review all
records, reports, policies and performance evaluations obtained
by the attorney for evidence of negligence
or incompetence. Fire and police must perform to standards
and follow laws enacted to prevent harm to the public from
negligence of their firefighters and police officers. The
agency itself can have the burden of liability
of employees negligent actions. Inaction by the agency itself
can be common and used to avoid admitting fault. Many times
the evidence of negligence is obtainable not just in the
incident records themselves but in the innocuous details
found within government minutiae and the agency's unofficial
records or notes.
