Collision Investigation
Accidents on the road can sometimes result in tragic consequences. The investigator’s job is to understand the key details surrounding the incident. Our specialist team will use their knowledge and experience as their top priority, and our collision investigators often participate and are instructed in both civil and criminal cases. Our criminal cases can be either protect or help in certain complicated scenarios.
We believe we are one of the best in the business as we have gained an outstanding reputation over the years. We don’t just offer a high-quality service, but our views our completely honest when carrying out investigations. GBB UK is involved with all vehicles in investigations – cars, motorcycles, HGVs and more.
Failure Analysis
GBB UK can carry out investigations to determine the main cause of a failure or an incident. Here are the sectors and industries we currently carry out engineering failure analysis on are:
- Agricultural/Plant
- Automotive Component Failure Analysis
- Commercial vehicles
- Medical
- Workshops
With engineering failure, it can be difficult to establish where the failure is coming from. One of the key parts of the investigation is to collect evidence and ask questions to determine the operation and history of the failed component. Once our team has identified the problem it is important to prevent the problem from occurring again.
Fire Investigation
The final service we provide is fire investigation. Trying to discover where the original cause of a vehicle can be a difficult and complex task. In just 15 minutes the evidence that would show what caused the fire will start to be destroyed.
When conducting fire investigations, you need extensive knowledge, and it can become a very detailed process. The GBB team has many experienced fire investigators with a history in automotive engineering and Crime Scene Investigations, so they’ll be able to carry out a detailed analysis in the most efficient and effective way.
We conduct independent, forensic-level examinations of all types of vehicles in order to solve all manner of fire-related investigations. As well as investigating automotive fires, our specialist team can also investigate small building and property fires.
The most common reasons for an investigation
- Suspected theft
- Suspected arson
- Mechanical fault
- Manufacturer dispute
- Liability following repair
- Owner liability
It is important we recognise in some instances, the physical evidence which provided the answers is no longer present as it has been destroyed by the blaze. For that reason, GBB has a triage of evidence appraisal service and escalation procedure to help avoid unnecessary costs.
If you are looking to have a fire investigated but are concerned about the proportionality of a full forensic examination then our Fire Appraisal option will provide a low-cost, rapid response view on the viability of forensic investigation based upon photographs and a simple questionnaire.
