Why Employ A Forensic Investigator?
With the volume of insurance claims that occur each year, it is necessary to determine if these situations have truthfully occurred and to pinpoint the cause. This is so that, ultimately, liability can be established. HSM Consulting Inc.’s forensic investigators can help achieve this by:
- Establishing the cause of a fire, whether it’s because of a manufacturing defect, poor servicing or repair, or arson.
- Investigating the suspicion of a fraudulent insurance claim.
- Examining and identifying subrogation potential, as in product liability, manufacturing defect, poor servicing, or repair.
- Performing forensic lock analysis to see if a vehicle's locks and other systems have been bypassed as well as to find out if a vehicle has been stolen.
Examination, Investigation, And/Or Assignment
Our company’s consulting experts will arrive on site as quickly as possible after the assignment is received to ensure as little spoliation as possible. We can do interviews and obtain statements from witnesses as well.
Documentation, investigation, and analysis will provide the client with the necessary data for potential subrogation, liabilities, risk exposures, and incendiary causes.
