Defending slip & trip claims with Greg Woods of CMS, for #Sliptember

Greg Woods is a partner at law firm CMS. He specialises in defending personal injury claims on behalf of insurers and large self-insured organisations. Greg joins Christian Harris on this week's Safety And Risk Success Podcast to discuss defending slip and trip insurance claims as well as the claims landscape for Covid, including working from home risks and the future of long Covid claims. Key topics include: How can companies be in the best position to defend slip-and-fall claims? Where does Greg typically find people are strongest and where do they have most room for improvement? How helpful, and under what circumstances, are: yellow signs, check sheets and slip tests? What has happened to the "tsunami" of Covid claims that was expected / feared in mid-2020? What are some of the implications of working from home, or, conversely, ordering everyone back to the office? Will long Covid claims be a challenging – and expensive – issue as we move forward? Greg is running a webinar on the Covid claims landscape in October. Look out for details of this coming soon.
