About UK METS
UKMETS was founded by Richard Cross to provide an independant, nationwide, forensic engineering and collision investigation services.
Our forensic engineers and collision investigators have a wealth of experiance dealing with: – damage compatibility, low velocity impacts, occupant displacement, large loss claims deployment of vehicle safety systems, seatbelt and airbag examinations and road traffic incident investigations.
We are particularly focused on detecting and helping fight fraud, exaggeration and malpractice in our industry. Please see our services menu above.
We understand the level of fraud that is taking place and how malpractice among some motor engineers is aiding this. While there are many honest people working hard to support honest claimants, we have seen how dishonesty and greed are used, in the repairing of claimant vehicles, as a trojan horse to inflate costs and attempt to justify unnecessary credit hire periods.
The Competition Commission identified that repairs of non-fault vehicles are often in the hands of those who have no incentive to keep costs down. We can’t change that, but we can help you make sure that you and your policyholders stand the best chance of keeping those repair and hire costs down. See our Post Repair Costs Analysis page for more details.
We look forward to working with you and helping your busy teams fight back against these unnecessary costs.
