Whether it is subrogation, arson, or coverage, we all rely heavily on our origin and cause investigators to provide us with their findings. No case goes anywhere without a solid foundation for the determination of the root cause. However; not all experts and not all investigations are created equally. What should we expect from the investigator? Knowing NFPA 921 and 1033 are great, but is that enough? Is examining the physical evidence at the scene sufficient? When have we exhausted all investigative possibilities? After hearing these presenters discuss various investigations and processes, you will obtain the knowledge to understand if your expert completed a thorough and competent investigation.
