Can Personal Injury Attorneys Recover the Cost of Investigators and Process Servers? Here’s What California Law Allows
In personal injury litigation, cases often stall not because of legal issues—but because the defendant simply cannot be found or is actively avoiding contact. When that happens, attorneys rely on investigators and skilled process servers to locate the defendant, complete service, and apply the pressure needed to bring the insurance carrier back to the negotiating table.
How Integrated Legal Intelligence Complements Legal Staff
​
Rush Intel’s work is designed to support, not replace, the critical roles performed by attorneys, paralegals, and legal researchers.
Paralegals and legal staff are essential to the litigation process, handling tasks such as case management, filings, legal research, and document preparation. Integrated Legal Intelligence is focused on a different discipline: intelligence gathering, verification, and analysis.
​
Rush Intel does not perform court filings, case law research, or administrative legal tasks. Instead, our investigators specialize in locating, validating, and contextualizing difficult-to-obtain information that often falls outside the time, tooling, or training scope of in-house legal staff.
​
Through Integrated Legal Intelligence, Rush Intel applies:
-
Specialized investigative training
-
Multi-source OSINT and public-record research
-
Advanced research tools and methodologies
-
Human-led verification and credibility testing
​
This allows legal teams to obtain accurate, current, and verifiable information without diverting internal staff from their primary responsibilities.
​
By separating legal work from intelligence work, law firms are able to:
-
Reduce inefficiencies
-
Avoid reliance on unverified database outputs
-
Free staff to focus on legal strategy and case execution
-
Receive investigative findings structured for legal review and use
​
Integrated Legal Intelligence functions as a force multiplier for legal teams—providing focused investigative support while preserving internal resources and accountability.
