spoliation of evidence
Understanding this fundamental concept of evidence preservation can mean the difference between a strong claim and no claim. The doctrine of spoliation can and should be used affirmatively against potential defendants. Our extensive experience in the early investigation of large losses allows us to quickly identify the appropriate course of action when we control the scene and to use the doctrine affirmatively to ensure evidence in the possession of others is preserved and, if not, to advance our case by seeking summary judgment, jury charges and other sanctions against the adverse party.
