Stairway Accidents

Throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, there are many apartment buildings and complexes that have faulty stairwells. This dangerous condition often results in serious injuries to apartment residents, their guests and other individuals such as delivery people who visit the property. If you have suffered any type of injury, you may have a premises liability personal injury action against the building management.

At Galine, Frye, Fitting & Frangos, we represent people throughout the San Mateo, California, area who have been hurt in stairway accidents. For help from an experienced San Mateo premises liability lawyer contact us online or call (650) 345-8484.

We have a strong commitment to fight for people who have been injured because an area is not properly maintained. Building management should be providing a safe space for people to live and visit. Stairway accidents can cause serious injuries, including:

• Broken bones
• Fractures, such as hip or leg injuries
• Head injuries and concussions
• Severe bruising
• Scrapes, cuts and lacerations
• Paralysis

We will hold property owners fully responsible for stairway accidents in San Mateo caused by loose railings or when a riser or railing is a disproportionate height from the steps. If there was improper lighting, stairs are cracked or not adequately cleaned, we can help you recover compensation after a resulting slip-and-fall injury.

Our San Mateo stairway accident attorneys often work with architects who can evaluate the stairway where the accident took place to see if any building code violations exist. This can help prove liability. We can also help deal with all of the insurance issues that arise during a personal injury matter, including if your insurer attempts to deny or delay a claimbecause they contest the nature of your injuries.

In many situations, we can settle your claim for a fair amount out of court. But if trial becomes necessary, we are prepared to provide an assertive strategy to recover the damages you deserve.
