Introduction

The world is a dangerous place. And while falling down in your teens is often funny, falling down when you’re grown-up hurts, and people are often injured. Combine that fact with an increasingly litigious society, and we have arrived in a time where slip, trip, and fall claims are common. And when there is a claim, someone needs to figure out if the condition is a danger and render a thoughtful opinion about whether or not it caused or contributed to the fall.

A Discussion on Slip, Trip, and Fall Claims is a 1-hour panel discussion, examining specifically how hazards in the build environment contribute to personal injury claims. 

This discussion is driven by the Pete Fowler Construction Services’ (PFCS) Construction Claims Analysis Method, and while no two claims are the same, our analytical investigation method establishes the foundation for a professional investigation and analysis regardless of the specifics of the claim.

Learning Objectives

• Examine the nuances of slip, trip, and fall claims from a legal, insurance, and construction perspective.

• Gain a big-picture perspective on handling slip, trip and fall investigations from a building expert perspective.

• Listen to the professional insights from the discussion panel to gain deeper knowledge than a big picture overview.
