Causes of Accidents & Injuries in Stairways

Accidents and injuries in stairways can happen for a variety of reasons, though they are most commonly a result of unsafe stairway conditions. Some examples of dangerous stairway conditions are as follows:

• Slippery surfaces
• Mis-leveled stairs
• Defective banisters
• Loose, defective, or missing railings
• Missing steps
• Lack of security
• Dim lighting
• Other building code violations

Determining Liability

If you’ve been hurt in a stairway accident, to recover compensation, we’ll need to satisfy the burden of proof in your personal injury claim. First, we’ll have to determine who the liable party is. Likely, it will be the building owner. To win your claim, we’ll need to prove that the property owner either knew or should have known of the dangerous stairway conditions, failed to take action to fix them, and you were injured as a result.

If possible, you should try to take pictures of the safety hazard that caused your accident and ask anyone who saw your accident for their contact information. You should also get the medical care you need at once and keep copies of all documentation associated with your injuries.

Recovering Damages

As long as you and your stairway accident lawyer can prove your claim, you should receive compensation for economic damages, as well as non-economic damages. Economic damages can include:

• The cost of surgeries or hospital overnights
• The cost of rehabilitation
• The cost of lost past and future wages

Non-economic damages can include:

• Pain and suffering
• The loss of enjoyment of life
• Emotional distress
• Loss of consortium
• Scarring or disfigurement
