Accident & Injury Investigations
Accident Investigation Services in New York
When someone is injured in a motor vehicle accident, construction incident, slip and fall, or workplace injury — the investigation that follows determines the outcome of the case. PI NY Group's retired NYPD investigators respond quickly to document scenes, locate witnesses, and collect evidence before it disappears.

The Evidence Window Is Narrow — and Closing
Accident scenes change within hours. Surveillance cameras overwrite footage in 24 to 72 hours. Witnesses move on and forget details. Skid marks fade. Physical evidence gets disturbed. By the time a case reaches litigation, much of what was visible and documented at the scene is gone — unless someone captured it immediately.
PI NY Group provides rapid response accident investigation for attorneys, insurance companies, and private clients throughout New York. Our investigators respond quickly — documenting scenes, locating witnesses, identifying surveillance cameras, and building the evidentiary foundation your case needs before the evidence window closes.

What We Investigate
Accident Investigation Services
01
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Scene documentation, skid mark measurement, traffic signal and signage photography, damage documentation, and surveillance camera identification. We respond to accident scenes throughout New York City and State — capturing evidence before it's gone and locating witnesses while the incident is fresh.
02
Construction Accidents
Construction accident scenes involve multiple parties, complex liability questions, and evidence that changes rapidly as work continues. We document conditions, photograph equipment and safety configurations, identify witnesses among workers and bystanders, and capture the state of the site before remediation or continued work alters the evidence.
03
Slip & Fall / Premises Liability
Premises liability cases depend on documenting the condition that caused the incident — and that condition changes. We photograph and document hazardous conditions, measure dimensions, identify surveillance cameras, and canvass for witnesses who observed the scene before and after the incident.
04
Workplace Injuries
Workplace injury investigations document the equipment, environment, and conditions involved in an incident — before safety remediation changes them. We photograph machinery, safety equipment, signage, and conditions, and interview available witnesses while accounts are still fresh.
05
Wrongful Death Investigations
When a fatal accident is the basis of a wrongful death claim, the investigation must be thorough, documented, and legally sound from the start. We conduct complete scene investigation, witness location and interviews, and evidence collection coordinated with the handling attorney.
06
Hit & Run Investigations
Identifying an unknown vehicle or driver after a hit and run requires professional investigation — canvassing for witnesses, identifying area surveillance cameras, and researching available evidence. We conduct hit and run investigations for attorneys and private clients throughout New York.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you respond to an accident scene?
Same day for active or recent scenes whenever possible. We prioritize rapid response because we understand the evidence window. Contact us by phone for urgent scene response.
What if the scene has already been cleared?
We can still conduct valuable investigation — canvassing for witnesses, identifying and requesting surveillance footage before it's overwritten, photographing current conditions, and researching available records. Early action is always better, but late investigation still produces results.
Do you work directly with attorneys?
Yes. Most accident investigation assignments come directly from plaintiff or defense attorneys. We coordinate directly with the handling attorney, provide updates throughout the investigation, and deliver reports formatted for legal use.
Can you locate witnesses who have already left the scene?
Yes. Witness location is a core investigative skill. We use professional research tools and field investigation to locate individuals who were present at an incident but did not leave contact information.
