When a slip accident leads to an injury claim, the quality of the floor evidence is often what decides liability. We provide independent forensic testing and expert witness services to claimants, defendants and insurers across Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Loughborough, Coventry and the wider East Midlands region.
Where possible, we attend the accident location and reproduce the conditions described by the claimant — the contaminant, the cleaning regime, the lighting, the footwear. UKAS-accredited pendulum testing is carried out across the relevant area, supported by surface roughness and photographic records. Where the original surface has been removed, we work from photographs, retained samples and disclosure documents.
Reports are written to comply with CPR Part 35 (Civil Procedure Rules) and contain the expert's declaration, the methodology, the test data, the analysis against published guidance, and a clear opinion on whether the floor was reasonably safe at the material time. Where appropriate, we will state that the available evidence does not support a particular conclusion — independence cuts both ways.
We have substantial experience of joint expert meetings, joint statements and giving oral evidence at Trial. The aim is always the same: present accurate, defensible test data and let the tribunal apply the law to it.
