Investigating & Evaluating General Liability Claims in 5 Steps

We last presented this 1-hour program on March 31st, 2022

Introduction

While no two claims are the same, the Pete Fowler Construction Claims Analysis Method is a reliable tool for investigating and evaluating any building related claim. Our panel of experts and respected industry professionals examine five steps that could be applied to all construction claims with the specific goal of digging deeper into general liability claims (sometimes called property and injury claims). 

“Investigating & Evaluating General Liability Claims” is a 1-hour discussion on properly planning, investigating, analyzing, and presenting general liability claims, especially those that require the use of a building expert. Being a discussion driven panel, this program hopes to impart wisdom only found in experience.
