Special smoke damage

The assessment of damage to heavy equipment and technical damage to motor vehicles is specialist work amongst specialists. Recently, at CED Automotive, a fire damage claim was assessed to a mobile rubbish press that was driving to fast-food restaurants to pick up waste. A CED loss adjuster discovered that the fire started in the air filter. It started burning from the outside in. The turbo had exploded, after which the engine burned out. When questioned it turned out that the driver was a heavy smoker. He always threw his cigarette through the nearside window. This was proven after dismantling the wreckage. A cigarette ended up in the air filter of the inlet that was housed next to the nearside window. No intent, but pure bad luck. On the basis of this technical investigation, a lawyer could continue working on the case.
