"The Five Ws of Site Inspections"

Property Casualty 360
07.15.2026

Swift Currie partner Kori Wagner authored an article for Property Casualty 360 discussing how the information gathered or learned through site inspections related to a claim can make or break a case.

Wagner provided insight on “Five Ws” for success during a site inspection, including:
1. Why is the inspection is necessary?
2. When should an inspection be conducted?
3. Where should the site inspection take place?
4. Who should be present at the inspection?
5. What should be inspected.

“Keeping these considerations in mind will help you complete meaningful and beneficial site inspections in your current and future claims and can support the claims process by providing early information regarding the incident, potential witnesses, available evidence, and possible defenses to help you evaluate pre-suit and litigated claims alike,” said Wagner.
