How Forensics Plays a Role in Civil Litigation
Forensic science plays a role in many scenarios, many being criminal investigations and crime scenes. However, the value of forensic science and evidence collection can be used in many other areas as well. Civil law and litigation is a branch where forensic science is also very crucial because just like a criminal case, civil cases need evidence to prove a particular case. Many ways a criminal case is analyzed for evidence, similarly a civil case can be analyzed also. For example, cases involving some type of property damage can be analyzed by looking at some form of trace evidence. Forensic science can be beneficial in many types of civil litigation cases, using many of the methods and techniques commonly used to analyze criminal cases and crime scenes.
