Technical and Scientific Investigation of Fires
Piccaro Investigazioni offers a complete and specialized service of technical and scientific investigation on fires, aimed at private individuals, companies, public bodies and productive activities. We intervene promptly to protect damaged goods, ascertain the causes of the fire and estimate the damages for the purposes of correct insurance compensation.
Expert Report: Technical Assessment of Fire Damage
The purpose of the expert appraisal for fire damage is to:
- Assess the overall extent of the damages suffered, both direct and indirect;
- Quantify damage to buildings, plants, machinery and supplies;
- Estimate indirect damages from production downtime (business interruption);
- Draft a certified technical report that can be used in insurance and legal proceedings.
Our intervention allows you to obtain the maximum settlement provided for by the contractual conditions of the policy, also identifying hidden damages often overlooked by the expert appointed by the insurance company. The expert appraisal can be reimbursed by the fire insurance.
Scientific Investigation: Determination of the Causes (Fire Investigation)
In parallel with the damage assessment, we carry out scientific investigations to:
- Reconstruct the fire dynamics;
- Identify the trigger point and the causes;
- Analyze findings and samples taken at the fire site;
- Perform specialized laboratory tests;
- Determine any third-party liability.
Forensic investigation is a complex forensic activity that requires the integration of chemical, physical, engineering and legal skills. Fire cause investigations are essential not only for insurance compensation, but also for possible criminal or civil proceedings.
Timeliness of Intervention and Preservation of Evidence
Operating at a national level, Piccaro Investigazioni is able to intervene rapidly wherever the accident occurred, guaranteeing:
- Rescue and recovery of still usable assets;
- Preservation of material evidence from alterations;
- Complete documentation of the state of the sites before remediation or disposal;
- Maximum protection of the injured party's insurance rights.
We follow all the post-disaster phases: safety, remediation, bureaucratic management and relations with the competent authorities.
Why Rely on an Expert Expert?
The assistance of an expert expert in fires guarantees:
- Correct application of the policy;
- Punctual verification of overall damage;
- Collaboration with the company's experts in an adversarial manner;
- Determination of the maximum compensation due;
- Protection of the interests of the injured party in expert and legal proceedings.
Without the intervention of an independent expert, the real risk is that only a portion of the damages actually suffered will be awarded.
Complete Support for Insurance Practice
In addition to the technical and scientific activity, Piccaro Investigazioni supports the client in all phases of the accident:
- Correct start of the insurance process right from the start;
- Complete coordination of bureaucratic management;
- Technical assistance for any disputes.
