Brooklyn Defective or Broken Stairs Lawyer
Looking for a Brooklyn Attorney with Defective or Broken Stairs Experience?
When a person steps onto a flight of stairs, the last thing they expect is something as terrifying as a sudden stairway collapse or a surprising fall. But many people are hurt every day simply walking up and down stairs. Their injuries might be caused by the staircase collapsing completely, or by smaller problems which still cause serious slips and falls, such as loose handrails, broken stairs, irregular steps, or dangerous obstructions.
Devastating injury, and even death, can occur. In fact, records show that falls in general are the second leading cause of accidental death worldwide, and it has been widely reported that around 12,000 people die each year as a result of injuries sustained from a fall involving stairs.
Even though an injury suffered on a staircase can change a person’s life, the victims of this kind of accident are entitled to restitution from negligent property owners who allowed these dangerous conditions to develop and persist. If you or someone you care about has been injured because of broken or defective stairs, hiring a law firm to help you recover damages is an important part of the process.
The injuries inflicted by falls down stairs can include lacerations, broken bones, concussions, chronic pain, and many other serious impairments which can result in major medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering that can go on for years. There are many problems which can cause a fall on defective or broken stairs, including:
- Broken, loose, or uneven steps
- Loose, irregular, or missing handrails
- Exposed fasteners or unsecured coverings which catch clothing or trip users
- Stairs not constructed to building or fire code
- Stairs not kept clear of obstructions or not maintained
