Specialised Services
Insurance
We are contracted to a number of insurers, underwriters and brokers, to specifically manage the risk of their vehicle portfolio’s as well as their substantial personal injury claims. Over the years, we have pioneered methods and techniques, which enable us to determine the authenticity of a claim at an early stage and to proceed with an investigation in a manner, which makes it commercially viable to a client, with a view to proving the validity of the claim and/or recovery of the asset.
Intellectual Property
LGI has, through their vast experience, devised legitimate methods to successfully counter the efforts of those individuals and groups involved in counterfeiting. These cannot be published in this document for obvious reasons. Our successes are recorded and we would be happy to .discuss your situation confidentially, providing you with a realistic and cost effective approach to combating the problem. Our investigator have travelled extensively throughout the world in the pursuit of intellectual property abuse cases. Currently counterfeiting operations are far more complex than they were a decade ago, as it is an ideal avenue to launder the proceeds of serious organised crime. LGI are specialists in investigating infringements of trademarks and patents, providing clients with detailed reports and untainted evidence to strengthen commercial or criminal cases against violators.
Collision Investigation
LGI has been instrumental in decreasing the value of both legal and commercial claims by diligently investigating, reconstructing, preserving evidence, recording information and forensically exchanging details to determine the facts which lead to the collision. A full investigation into the circumstances of a collision allows a re-construction specialist to determine the relevant speeds, reaction times, evasive actions, point of impact and eventually the liability of drivers, cyclists, pedestrians or whoever was involved.
Theft and Fraud
White-collar crime undermines the very fabric of a corporation and if left unchecked become the norm as workmates draw the conclusion that if their colleague is getting away with it they can. The manner by which we investigate such crimes, with in-depth interviews and the statements taken subjected to scientific content analysis, handwriting analysis, computer hard drive retrieval, forensic audits and other legitimate means, invariably reveals the culprits and determines how they have been committing the offence, so that steps can be taken to recover the losses and to prevent any future losses.
