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 personal injury 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.

In this program, we'll provide a panoramic view of handling personal injury claims, offering you a strategic understanding of the entire process. We'll introduce a structured framework for conducting professional investigations specific to the built environment, ensuring you're equipped with effective methods to approach these intricate cases. Through engaging case studies, we'll illustrate real-world scenarios, bringing the theoretical framework to life.

Join us as we dissect the nuances of personal injury claims from legal, insurance, and construction angles, providing you with a holistic perspective. By listening to professional insights, you'll gain a deeper knowledge that will undoubtedly enhance your expertise.
