Successful Personal Injury Investigation |
| I
have been in the investigative field for over 28 years. During that time I have
accumulated a very extensive library of books, videos and CD’s covering a wide
range of investigative information and techniques. If I was only able to keep
one book, it would have to be Frank Ritter’s “Successful Personal Injury Investigation.”
Frank has done a superior job of explaining, step-by-step and by check lists,
all of the important aspects of personal injury investigation; and he does it
in a very professional yet easy to understand format. This book is a “must have”
for every investigator, attorney and paralegal. |

| I
want to thank you for writing a "Successful Personal Injury Investigation." As
a college student enrolled in a Private Investigative Services Program, I have
thoroughly read your book, and must say that it is very informative and educational.
It is simple to read and understand, but most of all, it provides an in depth
understanding of civil investigations as it pertains to personal injury and other
aspects of investigations mentioned in your writings. |

| I am a student
in the Associate of Science in Private Investigation Services Program. I have
enjoyed reading Successful Personal Injury Investigation. My instructor Mr. Michael
Beltz sometimes will refer to some text books that are really boring like "eating
oatmeal, three times a day for 3 months," your book is not like that. I actually
laugh sometimes when I read your book. It is if you are trying to speak right
to me. I am learning a lot from your book. I hope that City College continues
to use your book, so other students can benefit. You may post my comments, [since]
people need to know that your book is worth buying. |

a refreshing departure from the usual PI "training books" with their substandard
writing and proofreading. Your work will be a remarkable and long-lived contribution
to our field. Your were right, the book does surpass the expectations I had. So

| "The
book sits on top of my desk and I refer to it all of the time. I would like to
have a copy of the book at the office, in the trunk of my vehicle, and at my house.
I have truly benefited from your attention to details. The book has become a tremendous
asset to our investigations. Dollar for dollar the money spent on your book has
been our company's best investment." |

| "Since
purchasing the manual, I received instructions from various attorneys in the USA
with respect to the interviewing of witnesses to some serious Road Traffic Accidents
which had occured in the USA. Utilising your book I was able to formulate my reports
and interview the witnesses and provide witness assessments in accordance with
what is normal practice in the USA, and is not normal practice here in Europe.
As a result, my firm was complimented on the fact that we had provided our reports
and statements in a format helpful to the US based litigation. This has resulted
in a continuum of instructions which to date have produced revenue in excess of
US$8,500 for our investiment in the book! I and my colleagues here in the UK would
like to thank you for your manual, which has in fact proved to be not only useful,
but also an interesting, helpful, and tremendous business asset." |

| "I started looking
through the book last night and saw things that helped me on two different cases.
I telephoned the two different attorneys at home and told them. I haven't owned
the book twelve hours yet, and it has already paid for itself." |

| "Sucessful Personal Injury Investigation
is by far one of the most informative books I have read in this field. Over the
years many people have asked me how I got into this line of work and where did
I go to school for training. I always respond that I got into this line of work
by accident and there is no school that I am aware. After reading Sucessful Personal
Injury Investigation I can now refer them to the wealth of knowledge and training." |

| "I
purchased Frank Ritter's book, Successful Personal Injury Investigation, at the
PAWLI conference. I kept looking at it and debated back and forth over the steep
price, but finally bit the bullet and plunked my money down. I have to say, I
have zero regrets about the cost. Not only is it filled with really useful information,
but it is written in an easy to digest style. I have already learned information
and techniques from the text that otherwise would take me a long time to pick
up on my own. I kind of feel like I have a (1100 page) mentor sharing years of
experience with me. I want to thank Frank for writing this useful book." |

| "I received my book this past Friday,
and it is all that you said it would be. Wow, is it all. It is larger than my
local telephone book! Anyway, thanks for a great product, and while I feel I know
a great deal about investigative work, your book has already given me a few new
angles that I had not thought of before. Thanks a bunch. Now I gotta keep reading
this monster as I have a certification test in January." |

and a must have for any investigator's book shelf - better yet, their desk, close

would highly recommend it for any investigator specializing or intending to specialize
in personal injury work or for generalists whose assignments include such cases,
and for investigators dealing in industrial injury and death cases. A delightful
use of humor, and profuse use of photos and diagrams that reinforce the learning
points in the text. A must ..." |
