Common Types of Cases That Private Investigators Handle

Published on 5-11-2022

Private investigators are often called in to handle tasks that other service providers in the legal sphere do not handle. There are some cases that we handle more often than others. If you are curious what the bulk of our bread and butter comes from, here are the most common types of cases that PIs are called upon to handle.

Infidelity

Probably the first type of case many people think of when it comes to private investigators are those revolving around infidelity. When a partner needs their suspicions confirmed or denied, we can find the truth. As an unbiased third party, we can investigate the truth and present evidence in an emotionally neutral manner. Which is something that can be much needed when dealing with an inherently emotional situation.

Background Checks

Background checks are another extremely common service private investigators handle. Background checks are used to uncover past addresses, criminal history, social connections, among other things. They are often sought out by employers, landlords, and government agencies, but sometimes individuals will do background checks on their romantic partners as well. Whatever your motivations for getting a background check done are, we can provide the facts.

Family Issues

Private investigations are also regularly used for a range of family matters. They can help uncover hidden assets in a divorce, they can collect evidence for use in child custody battles, and they are even used at times to find children that were put up for adoption or by adopted children to locate and learn more about their birth parents.

Surveillance

And lastly, another common service performed by private investigators is surveillance. Surveillance can help uncover truths in a myriad of circumstances including fraud, workers compensation claims, and infidelity, just to name a few examples. Surveillance can also be used to track people whom you suspect wish to cause you harm like stalkers and abusive ex- partners.

In conclusion, there are many types of cases that PIs can help with. These are just some of the most common ones we work on. If you have a matter that you think a private investigator can help you with, contact Lobb Investigations.
