Fields of expertise:

  • Civil liability
  • Vehicle damage
  • Fire damage
  • Work accidents
  • Mechanical failures
  • Construction faults
  • Transport & cargo damage
  • Road accidents (investigations)

The company’s capabilities extend over time in a wide range of opinion documentations in the event and the final result. Through actual findings, incidents and records of how vehicles are found at the scene of the accident and of rolling traces (such as brake marks, ruts, skid marks, fragments, plastics, glasses, final positions of vehicles and other findings as recorded by the traffic police), using knowledge and experience in combination with the laws of engineering and physical science, Consulting Engineers document the fault based on road accidents and industrial and craft sites.

More extensively, the specialised personnel of «K&V Group» company for the expert report of a road accident carry out the following:

  • enactment of the accident (when possible)
  • taking statements from witnesses and those involved
  • study and comment on the autopsy of the traffic police and criminal prosecutions in relation to our findings
  • cooperation with Public Services
  • research and collaboration with other sources
  • use of specialised software for the scientific analysis of the findings and reconstruction of the circumstances of the accident
  • calculation of damage cost
  • negotiation with repairers
  • assessment of collateral damage

If the Court considers that the presented evidence (with or without private expert report) is not sufficient to assess the case and it needs assistance from a technical expert in its judgment, then the Court itself orders, as provided from articles 681A and 671 paragraph 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the conduct of another expert report from the judicial experts on the list at his disposal.

The Scientific Court Consultants of our company can enlighten citizens and the Justice on technical issues that sometimes make the big difference as the correct identification of the accident causes and the clarification of the case are essential in the eventual support of a fair judicial outcome.

The «K&V Group» company, a pioneer in sectors still new for Greece, has the ability and experience to offer its services in the field of assessments and to respond to foreign investors’ demands for certified estimators who carry out REALESTATE and/or electromechanical equipment assessments.
