Stairway Falls

According to the National Safety Council, stairway falls are the cause of one million injuries every year, and the leading cause of death in senior citizens. Stairways may not seem hazardous, but one misstep and a fall down one can end very seriously in injuries. Premises liability laws give you the right to sue the property owner where the fall occurred to recover the damages that you incurred.

Stairway falls can end in some nasty injuries. Though some people may assume that it would be some heavy bruising, it can be much more severe. Victims can get broken bones, spinal injuries, concussions, traumatic brain injuries, lacerations, internal bleeding, and more. Not to mention that complications from some of these injuries could possibly result in death. This can occur with a poorly built set of stairs, or if it is cold or wet outside and it carries into the stairway without any sign or maintenance indicating so.

It is the duty of the property owner to ensure safe premises for anyone that comes on to their property, whether it be a residential building, a corporate building, or a retail store. Stairs should be built in an accessible and easy manner so as to reduce and eliminate any possible risk traveling up or down a flight. This means they should not be too steep, steps should be large enough for you to comfortably step your entire foot on, a limited amount of steps on one flight, and more. When the property owner breaches their duty of ensuring safety to their visitors, and you are able to show and that your injuries are due to their negligence, you can file a lawsuit under a stairway fall claim.
