Accident Scene Documentation | Court-Ready Aerial Evidence

Q: How quickly can you get to an accident scene?

Average arrival across the Florida Panhandle is under 2 hours from confirmed dispatch, 7 days a week including nights, weekends, and holidays. Call 850-803-7663 directly for active scenes — we launch as soon as airspace and law enforcement clear us in.

Q: Can you fly while law enforcement is still on scene?

Yes. We routinely coordinate with FHP, sheriff's offices, and local PD. We stage outside the active perimeter, request access through the on-scene supervisor, and operate under Part 107 with our COI ready to present.

Q: What if the scene has already been cleared?

It still pays to fly. Skid marks, gouges, debris pattern impressions, sightlines, signage, and roadway geometry remain readable for days or weeks. We document what's left and reference police reports and witness statements to reconstruct the rest.

Q: Will the footage hold up as evidence in court?

Yes. Originals are SHA-256 hashed at capture, preserved unedited, and accompanied by a flight log, GPS metadata, pilot Part 107 certification, and a signed affidavit. Our pilot is available as a fact witness for deposition or trial.

Q: How fast do we receive the files?

Court-ready packages are typically delivered within 24 hours via secure download link. Rush turnaround is available for trial deadlines or mediation prep — just tell us the deadline when you call.

Q: What does an accident-scene flight cost?

Most scenes fall within a predictable flat-rate range based on location, complexity, and deliverables. We quote in writing before launch and disclose any after-hours or rush surcharge up front. Firms invoiced NET-15.

Capture the Scene Before It Disappears.

When a crash, injury, or roadway incident happens in the Florida Panhandle, the scene starts changing the moment first responders clear it. We deploy FAA Part 107 pilots fast and produce court-ready aerial documentation that preserves skid marks, debris fields, sightlines, and conditions exactly as they were.

What we capture

Anonymized case examples

Identifying details have been removed. These examples illustrate typical scope, deliverables, and outcomes.

Case 01

Late-night highway crash, two fatalities

Context: Plaintiff firm engaged us within 6 hours of a multi-vehicle crash on a Panhandle interstate. Scene was reopened by FHP but skid marks, gouges, and debris pattern were still readable.
Scope: On-scene 4K video, top-down orthomosaic with scale, 180+ geo-tagged stills, annotated diagram, and pilot affidavit.
Outcome: Reconstruction expert relied on our orthomosaic for impact-angle and speed analysis. Matter resolved pre-trial at mediation.

Case 02

Commercial truck vs. passenger vehicle, intersection

Context: Insurance defense engaged us the morning after a T-bone collision at a signalized rural intersection. Sightline question was central to liability.
Scope: Aerial sightline study from each driver's approach, signal timing documentation, and measured intersection geometry.
Outcome: Documentation contradicted the plaintiff's sightline narrative. Case settled within policy limits.

Case 03

Pedestrian struck in coastal tourist corridor

Context: Personal injury firm needed scene preservation before peak-season traffic and weather erased crosswalk and signage details.
Scope: Same-day capture: orthomosaic of the corridor, signage and lighting documentation, and night-condition reference flight 48 hours later.
Outcome: Day/night comparison became a key demonstrative exhibit. Confidential pre-suit settlement reached.
