KINDLY SPONSORING THE MEDIA BOARD
Laird provides independent vehicle assessments for accident management companies, solicitors and claims teams across the UK. Since 2000, Laird has helped clients make faster, better-supported decisions on vehicle damage, repairability, total loss, valuation and disputed costs.
Qualified motor engineers produce clear, evidence-led reports for use throughout a claim, from early advise, triage and desktop assessment to physical inspection, post-repair & forensic reports. Reports are GTA and CPR compliant and draw on recognised sources including Audatex, Thatcham, Glass's and manufacturer repair data.
Laird combines engineering judgement with intelligent automation to reduce delay and administration. Depending on the package selected, desktop assessments are completed within 1 to 24 hours, while physical inspections take 1 to 3 days and most supplementary questions are handled the same day. API connections can move instructions, updates and reports directly between Laird and client systems, helping high-volume teams keep cases moving.
Technology supports the process; but does not make the final decision. Every assessment is reviewed and finalised by a qualified engineer, giving claims handlers and legal teams an audit trail and a named expert behind the opinion.
The result is practical, independent evidence that helps resolve claims sooner, control costs and withstand scrutiny when a case is challenged.
