Our Premises Safety team of architects and safety professionals is trained to investigate cases involving the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of residential, institutional, and commercial premises. We conduct site inspections, perform tests, and review applicable standards to learn facts and form opinions about how and why individuals were injured within the built environment.
Slips, trips, and falls are our most common investigations. Our experts have diverse experience in the design, construction, and administration of buildings and facilities. Many of our experts are involved in the professional organizations that develop standards for premises safety and materials testing.
Our premises security experts evaluate the adequacy of active or passive security measures to determine if they were a contributing factor in matters involving assault, vandalism, or theft. The scope of our investigations includes the evaluation of supervision, hiring, and training practices as well as physical security measures.
Facilities experts are frequently engaged to investigate matters related to the operations and management of grounds and facilities. The focus of our investigations may include parking lots and walkways, elevators and escalators, tree and vegetation management, housekeeping practices, or retail operations.
