Expert Witness
Reports For Claims.

When to instruct us

We are instructed in UK slip-and-fall personal injury claims from both sides — for defendants (businesses/insurers defending a claim) and for claimants (solicitors investigating liability). Typical instructions come shortly after an incident, during the pre-action protocol stage, or at any point up to a court hearing.

What we do

We attend the incident site and carry out UKAS-accredited BS 7976 / BS EN 16165 pendulum testing, typically replicating the conditions reported at the time of the incident — including weather, contamination type, and footwear where relevant. The resulting PTV data is analysed against HSE/UKSRG thresholds, and combined with forensic consideration of the specific incident circumstances.

Report format

Expert witness reports are written to CPR Part 35 standards — the UK civil procedure rules for expert evidence. They contain the expert’s duties, factual findings, methodology, conclusions, and a statement of truth. Reports are suitable for direct disclosure in County Court, High Court, or pre-action correspondence.

Attendance at court

If required, we attend court to give oral evidence. This is rare — the vast majority of cases settle once our report is disclosed — but we are experienced in cross-examination where it does occur.

Timing and confidentiality

Urgent instructions can be accommodated — site attendance within 48–72 hours is often possible. All work is carried out under formal confidentiality, and we do not discuss any instruction publicly. We can work through a solicitor, directly with a business defending a claim, or with a loss adjuster.
