Forensic engineer
in the UK & abroad
At Associated Forensic London, we offer a wide range of investigative services from a skilled and qualified forensic engineer. Contact us to find out more.
What I do
Currently, the UK alone records an estimated 300 vehicle fires each day. This figure includes manufacturing defects, arson, poor servicing or modification and a variety of other reasons. After receiving instructions from loss adjusters, solicitors and fleets, my role is to examine each case to accurately determine the specific cause and, if required, assist with liability and the subsequent recovery of costs.
Investigative scope
The usual scope of an investigation is: -
Initially review each case to determine if further investigation is viable or necessary. In some cases, images are all that is necessary to accurately give an opinion of fire causation. If further investigation is requested, the usual procedure, aligned with CPR35 or NFPA 921, is as follows.
