Crumbling Curbs or Stairs
In most states, owners of commercial or residential property are legally obligated to ensure residents and visitors are safe on the premises, including keeping curbs and staircases in safe working condition. When owners are or should have been aware of potential risks and dangers on the property, they are obligated to fix those risks or, at the very least, warn residents and visitors about the danger.
If you or your loved ones were hurt or injured due to falling on defective or damaged stairways, steps, or curbs, you have the right to demand proper financial compensation for any injuries, medical bills, lost wages, suffering, pain, and any other expense caused by the incident. Slip-and-fall personal injury attorneys specialize in these cases.
Injuries Due to Defective or Broken Curbs or Stairs
Faulty curbs or stairs can include broken, poorly lit, or defective areas of a property that cause injuries such as:
- Stairways built illegally without permits or licenses
- Icy or wet stairways
- Defective steps or stair treads
- Damaged or broken steps
- Risers of different heights or uneven steps
- Poorly visible stair edges
- Cluttered stairways covered in liquids, debris, or garbage
- Construction materials or tools left on the stairs by a third party
- Missing or inadequate guard rails and handrails
- Insufficient lighting
- Collapsing handrails
