SHOULD I HIRE AN NYC & WESTCHESTER COUNTY STAIRWAY ACCIDENTS LAWYER?

The truth is, when someone is wrongfully injured and requires financial compensation to heal, the party responsible for the injury will often try to claim that they bear no responsibility. When it comes to stairwell accidents, in many cases, landlords and other property owners will try to insinuate that you simply fell or slipped due to your carelessness, not due to unsafe premises conditions. This is why you need a competent New York City & Westchester County slip and fall lawyer on your side who can prove that you are truly entitled to financial compensation.

CAUSES OF STAIRWAY ACCIDENTS

As you can imagine, stairway accidents occur for many reasons, and, of course, at times they are simply a result of carelessness. It is always best practice to hold onto railings and watch our feet as we climb stairs. However, sometimes, even when taking the necessary safety precautions, people can slip or fall because of unsafe stairway conditions. Some of the most common causes of stairway accidents are as follows:

  • Spilled liquids
  • Defective railings
  • Missing steps
  • Uneven steps
  • Debris in the stairwell
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Negligent security

FILING A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

After you’ve documented your accident and received the necessary medical treatment for your injuries, you should speak with a Westchester County stairway accidents lawyer who can work to use this information to satisfy the burden of proof in a personal injury claim. As long as we can prove that you were injured as a direct result of another person’s negligence, such as a landlord, you should win your personal injury claim. The compensation you receive can help cover any economic or non-economic damages you’ve incurred, such as pain and suffering, the cost of medical bills or lost wages, emotional trauma, and more.
