Stairs can become dangerous if they are not properly taken care of.
While this seems obvious to most of us, unfortunately, far too many property owners and businesses fail to keep their stairwells reasonably safe.
This means that far too many innocent people trip and fall on the stairs, and suffer serious injuries as a result.
Fortunately, our slip and fall attorneys could help you file a claim for compensation if you had a stairwell accident on another person’s property in Colorado Springs.
We know how to build a claim that helps injured parties recover the compensation they need following a slip and fall accident.
This includes working with medical and engineering experts to demonstrate damages and establish liability against a negligent landowner or business owner.
You do not have to deal with the confusing legal process alone.
Our caring team is here to help so that you can focus on your physical recovery.
These incidents are usually needless and preventable if a property owner, renter, leasor, or other individual keeps their premises reasonably safe.
Still, there are many ways in which a person could suffer serious injuries from fall down the stairs.
Some of the most common causes of stairwell accidents in Colorado Springs include:
A skilled lawyer could help someone prepare a claim based on the cause of their accident.
A property or business owner must keep their premises reasonably safe under the circumstances.
This means that they must keep their premises free of hazardous conditions and fix any potential dangers within a reasonable amount of time.
If a proprietor cannot immediately fix a hazard, such as a broken stair, they must warn all guests of this unsafe condition on their property.
When possible, a landowner or business owner should have guests avoid a potentially hazardous, dangerous, or defective condition on their property.
For instance, if a handrail is missing on a staircase, the owner should block off that set of stairs from use.
Therefore, if an individual slips and falls down a stairwell, and the landowner or business owner knew or should have known about the condition, the injured party may be entitled to compensation under state law.
If you or a loved one had a stairwell accident in Colorado Springs on the property of another, you may be entitled to compensation for your serious injuries including pain and suffering, lost wages, medical bills, and any other expenses due to the accident.

I was uneasy about reaching out to a law firm after being in an accident that left me injured and my vehicle totaled. I don’t care for the idea of suing for what was very clearly an accident. However, after learning more about the overall process of working with a professional team to navigate the murky waters of the insurance world, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the experience wasn’t as gross as I’d originally felt about it.
Springs Law is very friendly and professional. I always felt that they were on my side and cared about my injury and what I was going through. I highly recommend them.
Springs Law Group is an amazing group to work with! I got into a rough accident, and they never ceased to let me know they were there working hard to help me in my hour of need. It was always very easy to reach out to someone if I had any questions, and they were always happy to answer any questions I had.
I never have a problem with getting a response when I need them – which is not the case with most other firms. They really truly care about each client. As a plus, they always have positive attitudes, which matters tremendously when you are in a stressful legal situation.
Big thanks to Mr. Jake Kimbell and his team for their assistance with my case. He helped me through an incredibly challenging part of my life, and most importantly helped navigate through the convoluted legal channels of my case. I cannot thank him and his team enough for their support.
The entire team at Springs Law group has been nothing but amazing. Jake and the rest of the staff were great to work with and extremely professional. They were very attentive and answered any questions and concerns I had. I was always able to contact them and they were very responsive and communicated with me.
