There are several types of research that will become part of your routine as a researcher.
1. Criminal Investigations
Private investigators work for the victim or for the defendant or their attorney in criminal proceedings. Serious crimes, which can lead to the arrest and conviction of a subject, are the source of cases for the legal/criminal investigator.
2. Civil Investigations
This pertains to everything related to trials in which issues of money or property must be resolved. Violations of the law are generally not included. Divorce, bankruptcy, personal injury and negligence cases, and lawsuits of various kinds are examples of civil cases that may require investigation.
3. Negligence investigations
This type of investigation is conducted for the plaintiff’s attorney to prove liability or for the defendant’s company or business to prove absence of liability or the absence of permanent serious injury. This can be accomplished through the use of surveillance (often video or photography), locating and interviewing witnesses, or trying to establish that a pre-existing condition caused or was aggravated by the injury or that the defendant was at fault. A modest investigation fee often saves a client from a large monetary reward.
