Desktop Reports

Fast, independent VDA (vehicle damage assessments), typically completed within 1–24 hours. Simple to instruct, easy for the driver and designed to keep claims moving.

Overview

Laird’s desktop reports provide independent engineering assessments from supplied photographs and documents. We guide drivers through image capture using a secure link, with no app to download. A qualified vehicle engineer reviews the evidence using recognised estimating systems and vehicle information. Reports are typically returned within 1–24 hours once sufficient information is available, with progress updates for your team. Where the evidence is insufficient or the damage requires closer examination, we recommend further information or a physical inspection. The service helps claims teams reduce chasing while retaining accountable engineering judgement.
