Investigation of a water-related accident claim can be complex, and timing is very important, as evidence can be destroyed or washed away very quickly.
Maritime and Boating accident investigations can be costly and difficult. Critical evidence may be lost before investigators ever have a chance to search for it. Therefore, a timely investigation is absolutely imperative in order to find as much evidence as possible related to the accident. Evidence can include damage to the vessel or boat, bodily injuries, evidence of sabotage or explosive devices, evidence of suspicious activities near the scene of the accident. If you or someone you love has been involved in a maritime or boating accident, do not waste any time before calling ICS. We offer free consultations, and our global network of investigators gives us access to a vast amount of resources.
