Forensic Vehicle Inspection Services

Over the last few years Northern Assessors have become one of the leading, if not the leading specialist, with regard to the inspection of motor vehicles where low speed impacts are usually involved and where we are frequently instructed to report to our principals with regard to overall damage consistency.

This specialist area of our expertise is one where we are frequently instructed by the majority of the UK insurers and also many solicitor principals to carry out such involved and detailed inspections and usually of both the Claimant’s and the Defendant’s vehicles.

We are able to provide very comprehensive reports that assist those having to deal with damage consistency claims and in particular where we can include in the reports exploded views of relevant body components, especially those that have energy absorbing properties.

We are also able to provide, where possible, vehicle orientation details in graphic format which help to identify the position of respective vehicles at impact.
There are many occasions where we are able to identify related and unrelated damage and also where we are able to advise on the respective kerb weights of the vehicles involved which in itself can have a bearing on the extent of damage sustained to each vehicle.

Our reports are detailed and comprehensive, and they always include good quality images of each vehicle involved in a particular incident.

We are also able to advise with regard to the heights from ground level of respective body components and also report as to whether or not there are any signs of paint transfer etc.

Specialising primarily in vehicle and structural fire investigation.

A typical investigation will include case research, interview of witnesses as well as examination, analysis & interpretation of physical evidence – usually culminating in a presentable, illustrated and easy-to-read technical report.

All investigations are based on an hourly charging structure (plus any expenses and disbursements) thus providing a bespoke service which accommodates the needs of our varied client base.
We are however pleased to provide a complimentary case review and discussion prior to instruction if required.

I would just like to thank you and everyone at Northern Assessors for helping me out.

I am writing to express my sincere thanks for your help and the comprehensive engineer’s report regarding my car

I picked the vehicle up yesterday, and following a specialist gearbox rebuild ,the initial drive suggests the fault has finally been rectified. I have no doubt that without your professional intervention and the weight of your report, I would still be facing the “driver error” response from the garage.

I would also like to extend my gratitude to the wider team at Northern Assessors. Your professionalism and communication throughout this process have been excellent. Dealing with these issues while managing my health has been incredibly difficult, but knowing I had such a competent team in my corner gave the peace of mind I needed to see this through.

Your expertise provided the evidence required to finally get a result, and for that, I am very grateful.

Thank you for the report on this case. It was fantastic and contained everything I had requested and so clear.

Been having ongoing issues with my car since the so called repair garage fixed it. Adam from northern assessors came out today to inspect my car. Adam was brilliant from start to finish and put my mind at ease the fact that had not done anything to my car and it was all down to shoddy workmanship from the repair. Thanks for your help Adam really appreciated.

If everyone’s reports were like Northern’s we’d be really happy: they’re clear and concise, they cover every point we / the customer raises and it helps us to settle complaints efficiently. Northern are really good to work with.

After feeling stressed regarding an accident to my husbands vehicle, I was dreading a visit from the insurance assessor mainly because we didn’t know what to expect. But our fears were alleviated initially when the visit was arranged on the phones to suit our timetable by nice girl.

On the morning of the visit we were rung by a gentleman called Adam who told us when he would arrive. He was punctual and was a very polite knowledgable and friendly young man. He put us at our ease and took lots of photographs and was very thorough in his examination. He appreciated we were concerned and assured us he would deal with our case promptly. True to his word we got an answer re the outcome not long after his visit.

I couldn’t recommend him or the company highly enough. We are very appreciative of his interpersonal skills and his abilities to put us at ease and feel confident in his ability. Thanks again

’I’ve just spoke with someone from the team regarding your service who also gave good feedback and raised no issues……. it has been a good transition and a welcome change from our previous service so thank you !
