Claim Support, Complaint Resolution, Expert Testimony
Why are Vibration Damage Claim and Litigation Support Services Important?
Vibration and structure monitoring data are more than a commodity to check a box for regulatory or specification compliance. These services are really of value for liability protection in the defense of a claim (warranted or unwarranted) or multiple claims. Seismic Surveys competent Principals and Staff add credibility to the data you will rely on in the event of litigation. Our knowledgeable team assist our customers in addressing complaints, often times before the complaints escalate into a formal claim or litigation.
How Do Vibration Damage Claim and Litigation Support Services Work?
While vibration complaints and claims are common, actual vibration damage is very rare. In the event of a vibration complaint or claim, Seismic Surveys Principal personnel are often engaged by the customer or their insurer to review pre-and post-construction survey documentation, vibration monitoring data, the nature of the claim, and other data that might be relevant to the complaint. The claim or complaint is documented with our standard Vibration Complaint Form.
A Seismic Surveys principal will either provide a desktop review of available data or will conduct a site visit to review and document the concern, then will prepare an opinion letter. The opinion letter will outline the allegations of the complaint or claim, present a summary of available data reviewed, compare data reviewed to accepted safe standards, and provide a conclusion on whether or not the complaint or claim is warranted.
Our principals are available to follow up with the complainant to review and discuss our findings. If the concerns cannot be resolved through this process, and a claim escalates to litigation, Seismic Surveys offers Expert Witness support for litigation preparation and testimony at trial.
