Accident Investigations
At IQED we can deal with the surrounding events of an accident; including the establishment of what and how the event occurred.
When taking a Witness statement or compiling a Locus report, it is crucial to obtain as much information as possible without leading the witness. This can be a lengthy process as the person taking the statement must question each witness and look at every aspect of the accident scene, the road regulations, any possible obstructions and background information in order to gather the most comprehensive evidence as possible to support cases going to trial.
Our investigators are fully trained in obtaining full, detailed and accurate statements from interviewees in a professional manner and fully understand the requirements in providing a comprehensive locus report. We are here to provide you with a quality service so that you can concentrate on your client.

Locus Reporting
We can attend the Locus en quo of a Road Traffic Accident and thereafter can provide detailed drawings, photographs and measurements of the scene along with a detailed and informative report which highlights many factors that would otherwise be unknown. This could play a crucial part in the successful outcome of any claim but more importantly it will be a valuable and visual aid to assist your case.
We will produce a sketch plan; photographic evidence and a detailed accident scene report, suitable for disclosure and use at trial.
Our report will contain the following information
- Computerised map of the accident location;
- Accident checklist - including speed limit, road markings and other background information about the location;
- Three computerised colour sketches including directions of travel, measurements and photograph positions;
- Digital photographs with full narrative showing each party's direction of travel and views across the accident location;
Expert Witness Statements
Accurate and objective witness evidence is vital in any litigation claim.
We interview witnesses and prepare comprehensive liability and/or quantum witness statements for either Claimants or Defendants. We also prepare statements for independent witnesses; carers; police officers; employers; or any other party potentially involved in the litigation process.
All of our witness statements are formatted to suit the needs of the individual case and are CPR compliant.
Copy witness statements are sent electronically to our clients together with a covering report immediately after drafting.
