This will form the basis for your claim.

Then our attorneys will make sure you receive just compensation — recovering your unpaid wages, paying your medical bills and receiving money for pain and suffering — by being your tough negotiators at the table or aggressive advocates in the courtroom.

Some Common Preventable Causes Of Stairway Accidents

​

Many times, stairway accidents could have been prevented if the property owner, landlord or manager did his or her job. Here is a short list of those preventable causes of stairway accidents:

​

•    Crooked stairs
•    Collapsing stairs
•    Defective railings that gave way
•    Open staircases lacking protective railings
•    Unlit or poorly illuminated stairs
•    Poorly maintained floor surfaces (upturned carpet, cracked cement, cracked linoleum, broken tile)
•    Obstacles on stairs, including packages, boxes, toys and cleaning supplies

There are many other preventable causes of stairway accidents. To be sure that the cause of your accident is properly identified and the people responsible are held accountable, contact the experienced personal injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Ivan A. Schertzer.
