Why Fall Accident Expert Witness Testimony Matters
Falls are one of the most common causes of serious workplace injuries and fatalities. Whether a fall occurred from a ladder, roof edge, scaffold, mezzanine, or unprotected opening, determining liability often requires careful analysis of site conditions, supervision, training, and fall protection protocols.
