Hawkins & Associates

read moreA forensic investigator is appointed to determine what happened, why and in what sequence. We usually work for insurance companies, often acting through intermediaries such as Loss Adjusters and Solicitors. However, an increasing proportion of our work is undertaken for large corporate clients and public bodies such as the Police and Fire Brigades.

Hawkins will examine the physical evidence associated with the case and give you a clear view on whether or not there is evidence to prove that the claim is fraudulent. When combined with your own knowledge of the case and its history, this should enable you to come to a swift decision on how to deal with the claim.

Much of our work in this field centres on establishing the facts, where possible and providing informed, professional opinion where dispute remains. We are independent and impartial and we are instructed by both Claimant and Defendant solicitors and insurers. We work within the relevant Civil Procedure Rules and are effectively agents of the Court in all work we do.
