Slip and Fall Injuries Trip and Fall Injuries
There
are many injuries that occur as a result of building or site defects. Among
the services Heimer Engineering's licensed Professional Engineers
perform are investigations and reports on slip and fall (trip and fall) and other
incidents caused by building defects. Heimer Engineering has investigated
many slip and fall and other incidents at a wide variety of buildings and sites
such as restaurants, parks, museums, office buildings, homes, apartment buildings,
outside steps, sidewalks, playgrounds, and
more. These locations are prone to defects such as slippery or irregular floors,
irregular stairs, improper handrails, unsafe curbs, poor or improper maintenance,
improper design, improper construction, unsafe equipment, and improper repairs.
Building codes are designed
to protect the public. In addition, there are numerous standards published
covering virtually all aspects of modern life. These standards also serve
to protect the public. Among the most well known standards are those published
by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI), the
American Society of Testing
and Materials (ASTM), the
National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA™), and
Underwriter's Laboratories.
In many cases
City of New York Building Codes or
New York State Building Codes are also applicable. By including these
references in the reports, it becomes obvious how the violation contributed to the
injury.
In performing these investigations, Heimer Engineering analyzes the site and
determine the cause of the slip and fall (trip and fall) injury. If appropriate,
photographs and measurements are taken to document the conditions at the site.
It is then determined which codes and standards are applicable, and how conditions
at the site violated the codes or standards.
After the research, a report is prepared describing the conditions at the site,
the cause of the slip and fall (trip and fall) and the code and reference standard
violated. The reports are clearly written and help all parties understand
the cause of the injury.
In
many cases, the clearly written reports can help facilitate a quick resolution.
If the case has to be litigated in a court of law, Heimer Engineering's licensed
Professional Engineers are ready to serve as
expert witnesses in a court of law.
Staff Engineers have qualified as expert witnesses
in Federal Courts
and at all levels of
New York State
Courts.
