Arizona Defective Stairway Attorneys
Stairways can be hazardous if they are not designed and built properly. A fall from a negligently designed or built stairway can cause serious injuries and even death. Stairways that appear properly designed and constructed can still be dangerous if they have poorly fashioned or missing handrails, inadequate lighting, or subpar construction materials.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a fall or other accident because of defects in a stairway, safety violations or other unsafe conditions, we can help you. Contact the Phoenix firm of Bohm & Jones, P.C., for a free consultation with a lawyer.
When Accidents Are Caused by Unsafe Conditions or Code Violations
Stairways are found everywhere: inside and outside office buildings, shopping areas, apartment and condominium complexes, hotels, and resorts. A stairway may span several floors or simply provide a four-step transition between two rooms. Regardless of a stairway's type or location, building codes and safety regulations mandate that it be designed and built to prevent injuries. Unfortunately, we have handled enough stairway injury cases to know that this is not always the case.
Falls occur when stairs are not properly lit and when handrails are broken or detached. If the height of each step on a stairway is not uniform from top to bottom, people using the stairway are unknowingly subjected to a hazardous condition. Regardless of the type of dangerous condition or how it arose, the experienced lawyers at Bohm & Jones, P.C., can help.
