Scene Work
Scene investigations and incident canvassing
On-site documentation of accident and incident locations — conditions, sight lines, signage, lighting, cameras, and the people nearby who saw it happen.
What a scene canvass documents
- Photographic record of the location and approaches
- Surface, lighting, signage, and obstruction conditions
- Sight lines from relevant vantage points
- Identification of nearby cameras, owners, and retention periods
- Canvass of surrounding residences and businesses for witnesses
Why timing matters
A scene is a perishable exhibit. Repairs get made, warning signs appear, vegetation is trimmed, and camera systems overwrite. Documenting the location early preserves the condition as it existed and identifies footage while it can still be requested or preserved.
Pairing scene work with statements
Canvassing regularly produces witnesses nobody knew existed. When it does, we can take the recorded statement on the spot rather than scheduling a second trip, which is both faster and more reliable than a later phone interview.
Frequently asked questions
- What does a scene canvass cost?
- Incident scene canvass is a flat $1,200 anywhere in Florida, with no travel or expense add-ons. See our rates page for the full schedule.
- Do you document interior premises scenes?
- Yes, where access is lawfully available — retail floors, common areas, and other publicly accessible interiors. Private areas require the property owner's permission.
- Can you determine fault from the scene?
- No. We document conditions and preserve evidence. Reconstruction opinions and liability conclusions belong to experts and counsel.
