Premise liability

Overall, we analyze and evaluate typical pedestrian behavior and how we expect someone to interact with their world. We evaluate the visibility of premises under the specific illumination that was present during the incident, using the same calibrated luminance and contrast methods we apply to any nighttime visibility analysis. This allows us to determine if an area, such as a parking stop, pot hole, curb, or other object, is expected to be seen and detected. We also utilize methodologies to ensure we have captured and can display fair and accurate nighttime photographs and video of the area. We can measure and quantify the slip resistance of a surface and determine if a pedestrian is expected to slip or not based on published and peer-reviewed literature. We also analyze the effectiveness of warnings and other signage.
