Scene Preservation Cases



Because scene preservation and reconstruction are inexorably linked, JGPI is the perfect choice to accurately preserve accident or crime scenes. As seasoned reconstruction experts, you can trust us to know what is or is not important to collect and how to thoroughly conduct scene investigations when there is only one opportunity to get it right.



Vehicular Liability



A municipal transit bus traveled well past a marked stop, forcing a passenger to cross the street in traffic. JGPI developed this winning presentation using online photography and the case settled favorable for Plaintiff.​










Premises Liability



Plaintiff bumped his head when he walked into the closed glass door of his firm’s lounge while looking down reading a document. Two weeks later, he stopped going to work and later filed a lawsuit seeking multi-million-dollar compensation for a purportedly career-ending traumatic brain injury.

Was it Plaintiff’s fault for not watching where he was walking or the interior designer’s fault for failing to provide sufficient visual cues the door was closed? JGPI’s PowerPoint video presentations for the defense help the mediator motivate Plaintiff to settle the case for a fraction of his original demand.



Homicide



An admitted killer of two fellow soldiers at a US Army patrol base in Iraq faced the death penalty. At issue was incomplete documentation of the crime scene and placement of crucial physical evidence supporting an eyewitness account that he "executed" one victim at point-blank range. JGPI re-documented the scene using photogrammetry and successfully got it admitted into evidence in the defendant’s general court-martial over vigorous objection by the government.

​​The damaging eyewitness testimony was impeached, and death penalty was averted.
