There’s a reason “Was this building up to Code?” is one of the first questions asked in a Premises Liability claim/case.  It’s one of the most important.  As difficult as it can sometimes be to answer the question, it must be answered and it must be answered correctly.  Only doing partial research of the building codes and accessibility and coming up with an incorrect or incomplete answer to this question can have devastating effects on your case.  It’s critical that the engineer you hire to answer this question peels back the entire onion.  CED has been doing this work for over 25  years.  In that time, we have accumulated years of experience by our individual engineers.  We’ve also accumulated impressive code libraries that save our engineers time and our clients’ money. Having access to a well worn volume can save hours of research and travel time.
