Case Study: a Yacht Owners and Their Family resolves a marina yacht fire investigation with Envista Forensics

Yacht Owners and Their Family resolve a yacht fire in 2+ years with Envista Forensics

Envista Forensics was retained by the yacht owners and their family after a devastating fire destroyed multiple vessels in a marina. The challenge was to determine the fire's origin and cause to support the insurance subrogation process, which required a complex, multi-party marine fire investigation.

Envista Forensics implemented a comprehensive solution that included coordinating with authorities, documenting the scene with divers, and conducting a meticulous physical examination of the wreckage and marina electrical systems. After a lengthy investigation involving evidence testing in a lab, Envista determined the fire was caused by a specific appliance in the galley. The vendor's work led to the responsible manufacturer accepting liability for the loss.
