Orlando Stair Collapse Injury Attorney

When a flight of stairs suddenly collapses while people are climbing them or standing nearby, severe injuries can easily result. Naturally no one is expecting this kind of event, often making it impossible to get out of the way or take protective measures. Unstable staircases are a more common problem in older buildings, but they can be found nearly anywhere.

If you or a member of your family has been hurt by poorly built, installed, or maintained stairs or steps, you may be able to take action against the party responsible. You could be eligible for compensation to repay your medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses that are not your fault. To discuss your options with an experienced Orlando stair collapse lawyer, call Todd Miner at 407-420-4040.

Causes of Stair Collapse

It should be obvious to anyone that walking up a floor or farther can be dangerous. Sadly, many property owners fail to consider this danger or check their stairs for potential problems. Some of the defects that can cause a flight of stairs to fall apart include:

• Structurally unsound design
• The use of shoddy building materials that cannot bear enough weight
• Failure to notice or repair damage caused by age, termites, etc
• Failure to correctly secure risers to railings, or railings to the wall and floor

Stair collapse is nearly always avoidable as long as people use common sense while building and using staircases. If you have suffered major injuries such as bone fractures or head trauma due to mistakes like those listed above, a qualified Orlando stair collapse injury lawyer can help.
