New York Injuries on Stairs & Steps Lawyers
Holding Property Owners Responsible for Dangerous Premises since 1950
No amount of care taken by the users of steps and stairs can fully prevent injuries every time when stairwells, steps and stairs are built poorly, improperly maintained, or are otherwise faulty or unsafe. When corporate property owners fail in their legal duty to ensure the safety of tenants and visitors, it's important to hold them responsible for their negligence and to pursue the compensation you deserve for injuries.
At the Queens law firm of Pearlman, Apat, Futterman, Sirotkin & Seinfeld, LLP we have handled hundreds of premises liability cases since 1950, including numerous injury cases resulting from dangerous stairs and steps. Cases we have resolved successfully have involved:
- Inadequate handrails: If steps are wide, an additional center rail is sometimes needed.
- Inadequate lighting
- Ice and snow buildup on outside steps
- Uneven risers and steps: If risers vary in height or steps are too shallow, walkers' stability is compromised.
- Material and debris left on stairs
- Steps and stairwells that were build without a permit
- Step riser built with an improper height because there was not enough room to build stairs that were within code
We are an established firm with the resources to fully handle your case. We work with investigators to gather and analyze all evidence and with medical professionals to comprehensively document all injuries and their effects. Our diligence has led to multiple six- and seven-figure results following premises liability accidents. For more information, contact one of our offices to schedule a no-charge consultation.
