I make client contacts and then I also locate people and investigate accidents. Pretty much anything the firm needs to do. As far as for picking up any information on cases we would be there to represent the the victim where there are the potential client and and have a first-hand knowledge of what actually happened in the accident. I’ve just been qualified as an expert witness in accident reconstruction which was one of the fields that I did while I was a police officer. And that benefits the firm as well as it would benefit any potential clients. An expert witness can offer an opinion whereas a regular witness would not be able to testify to hearsay information or to their opinion. I would go out to the scene and I could take measurements or I could look at the evidence that’s on the scene and I could provide an expert opinion, you know due to several things. The training that I’ve received as well as the many years of being an accident reconstructionist and could go and then testify in court utilizing all of those methodologies and experience. I’d be able to testify to my opinion and/or formulate an opinion as to how I believe that the accident actually occurred.
