Causes of Staircase Fall Accidents
Staircases kept in perfect working order are already more dangerous than walking on level ground. Maintaining a safe staircase should be of the utmost importance to property owners and managers of buildings with stairwells. Some of the most common causes of serious injury on a staircase are:
- Poor lighting
- Slippery steps
- Debris on the steps
- Broken handrail
- Handrail not tightly secured
- No handrail
It is your responsibility to always use caution when walking up or down a staircase. Not every injury on a staircase is due to negligence. Be careful and aware of your surroundings.
