Damage Assessment

Damage Assessment provides a fact‑driven picture of what was actually harmed, how badly, and what that means financially. Drawing on decades of field and mechanical experience, I review inspection data, photos, and appraisals to separate cosmetic issues from structural or systems damage.

I start with a Loss Impact Assessment that quantifies both direct repair costs and operational consequences-downtime, rental, and lost load opportunities. I then complete a Repair Feasibility Review, evaluating whether the asset can and should be repaired given its age, prior condition, and safety considerations.

You also receive concise Damage Severity Reporting that assigns practical severity levels tied to next steps, not just adjectives. Finally, I provide Salvage Value Estimation for damaged equipment or cargo, giving you realistic recovery expectations. The result is a clear roadmap for repair versus total loss decisions, reserve setting, and settlement strategy.
