Title edit
Motor Engineers, Insurance Assessors, Claims Investigation, Accident Reconstruction - H Rook Group
Description edit
In the early 1920's Horace Rook, Chief Engineer of the Anglo American Oil company, was engaged in the conversion of horse drawn vehicles to motorised vehicles and recognised a growing need amongst vehicle owners for expert advice on the cause and effect of damage to vehicles involved in accidents.
As the number of cars increased, lawyers and insurers increasingly sought engineering advice in pursuit of loss and injury claims and Horace Rook established a business in Hull to carry out accident investigation and prepare expert reports.
In the 1950s, as the number of vehicles began their big post-war increase, it was recognised that engineering aspects were only part of the accident investigation service that the legal profession and the insurance industry needed. H Rook became one of the first to set up a Third Party department to meet those needs.
