Slip, Trip, and Fall Claim Investigations: Getting In, Out and Around

This presentation, designed for insurance professionals, serves as a primer on the scope of premises liability claims and the ways an engineering expert can streamline the claims process. Attendees will gain insight into the types of common premises liability cases, including slip, trip, and fall incidents, and learn how design, construction, and maintenance issues within the built environment contribute to these claims. The course also highlights potential pitfalls in the claims process, risks of liability, and how technical analysis—such as site evaluations, code compliance reviews, and documentation—supports accurate and defensible conclusions. Through real-world examples, participants will better understand how engineering expertise enhances efficiency, accuracy, and clarity in resolving premises liability claims.
