Drone Services for Litigation and Insurance Claims
Hiring a licensed private investigator (PI) with a FAA 107 UAS (drone) pilot’s license can offer significant advantages to law offices and insurance companies in various legal and investigative scenarios. Here’s why these firms should retain a such a professional:
1. Enhanced Evidence Gathering
- Aerial Surveillance: A PI with a drone pilot’s license can conduct aerial surveillance, which is particularly useful in large or difficult-to-access areas, such as construction sites, remote properties, or areas where ground-level surveillance might be limited or suspicious.
- Accident Scene Reconstruction: In cases involving vehicular accidents, drones can capture high-resolution images and videos of the accident site from various angles. This can help in recreating the event more accurately, especially when dealing with claims or litigation.
- Insurance Fraud Detection: Drones can monitor properties or situations related to potentially fraudulent claims, such as exaggerated damage after a storm or fire. Drones help gather unbiased, verifiable data quickly and discreetly.
2. Cost-Effective and Time-Saving:
- Quick Access to Hard-to-Reach Areas: Drones can quickly access areas that are difficult or unsafe for investigators to reach on foot, such as rooftops, large properties, or disaster zones. This cuts down on investigation time and eliminates the need for more expensive, conventional methods like helicopters.
- Minimizes Resources: Compared to other forms of aerial surveillance or on-ground teams, a drone can often complete tasks with fewer personnel, reducing costs for the law firm or insurance company.
3. Legal Compliance and Safety:
- Adherence to FAA Regulations: A licensed drone pilot is trained in the legalities and safety protocols of flying drones, ensuring compliance with FAA regulations. Law offices and insurance companies benefit from this expertise by avoiding legal risks associated with improper drone use.
- Data Protection: Private investigators with licenses are well-versed in data privacy laws, ensuring that the aerial footage or photos are captured lawfully, especially in sensitive areas like private properties.
4. Precise Documentation:
- Evidence Preservation: Drones can provide accurate, timestamped documentation of scenes. This is crucial for legal cases where the condition of a site changes rapidly (e.g., in construction accidents, property disputes, or personal injury cases).
- High-Quality Visual Evidence: Drones equipped with high-definition cameras can produce sharp, detailed images and videos that can be crucial when presenting evidence in court or for insurance claims.
5. Discreet Operations:
- Surveillance Without Intrusion: Drones can operate at a height and distance that makes them less intrusive compared to traditional ground-based surveillance. This makes them ideal for monitoring activities without being detected or drawing attention, especially in fraud investigations or situations requiring discretion.
6. Expanded Investigative Capabilities:
- Environmental Monitoring: In cases involving environmental law or insurance claims related to natural disasters, drones can monitor large areas to assess damage, environmental hazards, or potential regulatory violations.
- Construction and Property Disputes: Drones are useful in legal cases involving land surveys, boundary disputes, and construction defect claims, providing an aerial perspective that can reveal details not easily captured from the ground.
7. Adaptability in Various Cases:
- Personal Injury Investigations: Drones can provide a broader view of accident scenes and conditions, such as hazardous conditions that contributed to a fall or accident. This can be valuable for law offices or insurance adjusters handling personal injury claims or liability claims.
- Workers' Compensation Cases: Surveillance of claimants suspected of faking injuries can be more effective when performed from an aerial perspective, providing law firms and insurance companies with clear visual evidence.
In summary, law offices and insurance companies benefit from hiring a licensed private investigator with a drone pilot’s license because it enhances their investigative capabilities, provides cost-effective solutions, ensures legal compliance, and helps collect high-quality evidence. This ultimately leads to better outcomes in both litigation and claims processing.
Disclaimer: FAA airspace restrictions may apply for areas of planned flight operations. With proper planning, an airspace restriction waiver request can be submitted to the FAA for authorization to operate in a restricted airspace. Depending on the level of the FAA airspace restrictions, waiver request may take a few seconds to several months for authorization or denial response.
