I see dozens and dozens of premises/slip and fall cases over the course of a month. Unfortunately, the quality of the workup of the average practitioner doesn't change.
No investigator, no engineer and poor quality black and white faxed photos. "Come on, you're better than that"! If that's what is being submitted to me for funding, I have to assume the same is being submitted to the carrier and defense counsel. Very tough to evaluate a file like that.
My rule: On any liability case involving a "substance" get an investigator out there to photograph and get statements. On any other premises case retain your engineer and have him photograph and prepare an opinion.
You'll be amazed at the reults!
