Stairs can become dangerous if they are not properly taken care of.

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.
