New Yorkers Deserve Safety When Simply Moving Around Indoors

New Yorkers and everyone else use elevators and stairs throughout the city. Your fall and many others may have been preventable. Stairs in the Bronx or elsewhere could cause an injury if:

  • They are broken
  • They are uneven
  • They have improper spacing and geometry
  • They are sagging
  • They do not have adequate structural support
  • They lack proper or adequate handrails
  • They are covered with a loose or slippery material
  • They become covered in snow or ice
  • They are not properly lighted

New York is not alone as a locale where stairs can be a health hazard. According to Reuters, injuries that occur in stairwells that do not result in death cause about $92 billion in injury-related costs each year. They add that victims of such injuries fall within all age groups.

You may consider bringing a lawsuit or insurance claim because your stair-related accident caused you to be seriously injured. You may have lost a loved one because of a stair-related accident. In either case, a lawyer can help you seek compensation.

The Responsibilities of Property Owners

Property owners have a responsibility to maintain a safe property. Stairs that are on someone’s premises constitute a hazardous and dangerous condition if they are improperly installed or maintained.

When one owns a property, they have a responsibility to keep their property safe for anybody who enters. Any property which contains broken or uneven stairs is not safe. Unsafe stairs indicate that the property owner is not adhering to mandatory safety-related obligations.

Some ways that a property owner may keep those who enter their premises safe include:

  • Repairing or otherwise eliminating hazards as quickly as possible
  • Providing adequate lighting across all portions of the property, including stairwells
  • Installing safety-specific features such as handrails
  • Isolating safety hazards—including broken or uneven stairs—so that those who enter the premises do not injure themselves
  • Explaining to employees or others tasked with caring for the property the importance of identifying and reporting safety hazards
  • Hiring a property manager, which the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) explains can handle complaints about the state of the property and respond in a safety-conscious manner

A property owner who is negligent in their duty to keep you safe will owe you compensation for the injuries and losses you suffer due to their negligence. A Bronx fall caused by a broken or uneven stairs lawyer will help you pursue compensation.
