Slip Test Reports for Legal & Insurance Professionals
Independent, standards-compliant slip resistance testing and expert reports for litigation support, insurance claims assessment, and incident investigation.
Expert Evidence You Can Rely On
Slip and fall claims require objective, scientific evidence about the floor surface involved. Whether you are prosecuting a claim, defending one, or assessing liability for an insurer, you need an independent test report that meets the evidentiary standards of Australian courts.
The Challenge
Slip and fall litigation depends on establishing whether a floor surface was unreasonably slippery at the time of the incident. Without objective, scientific testing data, cases rely on subjective testimony that is easily challenged.
The Stakes
Slip injury claims can involve significant damages. For plaintiffs, weak evidence means uncompensated injury. For defendants, poor documentation means exposure to large payouts. For insurers, inaccurate assessment means incorrect reserve setting.
The Solution
Independent slip resistance testing by Greg Collins using calibrated equipment and documented methodology. Reports are produced to AS 4663:2013 and written to withstand scrutiny in legal proceedings.
Legal practitioners and insurance professionals across Melbourne engage Surface Test Australia when they need objective, defensible evidence about floor slip resistance. Whether you are a plaintiff lawyer building a personal injury case, a defendant's solicitor assessing liability exposure, or a loss adjuster investigating an insurance claim, Greg Collins provides the independent testing and reporting you need.
Greg's reports for legal and insurance purposes go beyond standard compliance documentation. They include a detailed description of the testing methodology and equipment used, the specific conditions at the time of testing, P-ratings for each surface tested against AS 4663:2013 requirements, photographs of the test locations, and an assessment of whether the surface met the minimum slip resistance expected for its intended use and environmental conditions. This level of detail is essential for reports that may be tendered as evidence or used to support expert opinion.
For incident investigations, Greg can test the specific surface where a slip occurred to determine its current P-rating, assess whether it meets the applicable requirements under the Australian Standards and the Building Code of Australia, and identify any factors that may have contributed to reduced slip resistance such as wear patterns, contamination, or inappropriate cleaning methods. This information is critical for establishing or refuting negligence in personal injury claims.
