Tree failure analysis
Examine the failure.
Explain the evidence.
Tree and limb failures can involve structure, condition, site history, environmental loading, and prior arboricultural work. Tree Resolutions evaluates those issues within the questions defined for the engagement.
The assignment
Separate what is observed from what can be concluded.
A failure alone does not establish why it happened or what could have been known beforehand. The analysis brings together the available physical evidence, records, and site information.
Questions we can address
- Failure mode and contributing conditions
- Condition before the incident
- Inspection and maintenance history
- Construction or other site changes
- Arboricultural practice and standard-of-care questions
The investigation
A documented basis for the opinion.
The work may include inspection of the site and failed components, review of photographs and maintenance records, and consideration of available accounts and environmental information.
The scope depends on what evidence remains and what questions must be answered. Reports distinguish observations, assumptions, professional opinions, and unresolved limitations.
Litigation and claims
Analysis prepared for professional scrutiny.
Attorneys and insurers need a clear account of the evidence and the reasoning connecting it to an opinion. Findings may inform causation, inspection, maintenance, and arboricultural practice questions.
