Specialized services for premises liability litigation.
Trip and fall investigations
When a trip and fall happens, our experienced engineers follow a standard investigation process to evaluate elevation changes, flooring materials, lighting conditions and other factors that may have contributed to the incident. Using detailed inspections, measurements and code analysis, our trip and fall experts help you uncover the root cause and support more informed liability decisions.
Slip and fall investigations
After a slip and fall incident, our trained engineers use tribometers to test slip resistance on floors and stairs in accordance with ASTM and ANSI standards. With slip and fall experts across the U.S., our team combines the use of ASTM-approved, certified and validated devices for testing, field evaluation and technical analysis to help you make stronger litigation decisions.
Code and compliance analysis
During our trip and fall investigations, our experts evaluate site conditions against the IBC, IEBC, IRC, ADA and local requirements while factoring in the property’s age, occupancy, maintenance and use considerations. This helps us determine whether code-related conditions contributed to the incident and provide you with objective findings supported by technical analysis.

Whether you’re an insurer, attorney or property owner, our team delivers tailored support for every stage of litigation.
