Minnesota Personal Injury Investigations
Determining legal responsibility is the primary purpose for retaining a personal injury investigator when someone you care about is injured. Whether it's a car crash, slip and fall incident, or even an animal attack, a fact-based investigation can be invaluable to the injured party.
An experienced investigator is not just gathering data about the incident, they are specifically focused on finding what actions, on the part of the defendant, led to someone's injury. We encourage quick action as both circumstantial and physical evidence can spoil and deteriorate over time, leading insurance companies to dig in their heels when they should be offering to settle your claim.
The investigators at Crescent Investigations specialize in investigating personal injury cases. With over 100 years of combined experience and thousands of solved cases in our portfolio, you or your loved one are in good hands. We work hand in hand with your legal team to assure all facts are property preserved through statements, recorded interviews, photography, or even professionally prepared videography. It’s our responsibility to gather the facts and tell a clear and convincing story.
Whether you’re a victim who has suffered an injury or the attorney on a personal injury lawsuit — it's often the quality of the investigation that determines whether or not you receive the true and just case outcome.

Our Process
Our process includes extensive research to gather information. We’d be happy to further review our ethical processes as they pertain to your specific case. But we can assure all avenues are considered to build a framework for our investigation. The research process has us speaking with key case contacts and oftentimes revisiting the scene.
The initial facts provided often only skim the surface when it comes to telling a full story. From there — we can reconstruct crash scenes, interview key witnesses, and review all evidence to formalize a truthful and compelling chain of events leading to the injury or accident.
Our attention to detail and specialized communication skills lead to a complete story that attorneys and insurance companies can confidently lean on when it comes to formalizing a case.
Reporting
Once our team has completed the information gathering phase of the investigation, the data must be passed on to our clients. We utilize a consistent method for delivering information to keep your case organized.
Transcribed interviews, summary reports, photography, and videography are the primary formats utilized to professionally communicate facts and findings. Our organized approach makes for efficient analyzing of the information — this piece has been known to set us apart — attorneys appreciate the consistency and ease of doing business.
