Summer Surge: What You Need to Know
| by Jerry Birnbach, Retail & Commercial Expert Witnesswith over 40 years of experience in design, maintenance andoverall retail and commercial safety issues. |
| As an expert witness with a professional career in retail design & display and commercial design, I bring a unique perspective to injury cases in retail, hotels, and restaurants Especially when it comes to, what I like to call, the “Summer Surge.” July 4th Weekend is one of the biggest holiday sale seasons for retail. Poorly designed displays, for example, can obstruct walkways, causing customers to trip and fall. I can assess whether the layout adheres to safety standards and if the store took adequate measures to prevent such accidents. Many individuals, couples and families flock to restaurants for celebratory drinks and fun. The fast-paced environment, however, often leads to wet floors and cluttered walkways. By analyzing the design and maintenance practices, I can determine if the establishment provided a safe environment for patrons and employees. And as one of the busiest travel seasons in the US, hotels are ripe for potential hazards such as inadequate lighting in stairwells or slippery bathroom floors — both a common culprit of injuries. I evaluate if the hotel implemented appropriate safety features and maintenance protocols. My expertise lies in understanding the intricate details of these environments and how design choices can impact safety. This insight is invaluable in winning injury cases by identifying potential hazards and proving negligence. I provide you with comprehensive reports and testimony to effectively convey to the court how specific design flaws or maintenance issues contributed to the incident. Ultimately, my unique combination of design expertise and legal insight can be the deciding factor in winning your injury case. |
