Many injury incidents are caused by products or systems that have not been adequately designed for the people who use them. Others are caused by inattention or other behavior of the persons involved. We use results from existing scientific research & human factors analytical techniques to determine the relative contributions to the incident of the person, circumstances & environment in which the incident occurred. Past cases have involved personal injury incidents related to:

• Falls
  Cases have included trip-and-fall, slip-and-fall; falls on walkways, stairs, and ramps in public, commercial & industrial settings with issues including visibility, illumination, perception, attention, handrails, slip resistance, safety practices, warnings


• Failure to warn
  Cases have included failure to warn in public, commercial & industrial settings, with issues involving content & placement of environmental, equipment, & product warnings


• Workplace accidents
