Dangerous Stairways in California: Injuries Caused by Broken Stairs

San Diego Area Attorney Recovers Damages for Injuries on Defective Stairs

Staircases are important to us on a daily basis - whether on business or private property. We use stairways frequently without ever expecting to encounter broken stairs, irregular steps, loose handrails or other problems that may cause falls due to unexpected slips or trips. When we do, the physical injuries are often severe or devastating because most of the time they are considered to be an "elevated fall injury."

If you, or some one you know, have been injured in a fall because of broken stairs or another stairway defect, you may have a strong premises liability case. Of course, each case is different because different facts are unique to each injury case. You can contact the San Diego CA Law Office of Mark C. Blane for legal counsel that may help you recover significant financial damages against the property owner of the defective stairway, or stairwell.

Broken Stairs, Loose Handrails and Irregular Steps May Be Building Code Violations

The defective condition that causes a stairway fall often is not easily visible or otherwise obvious. This means it is hard to see or not "open and obvious." There are many cases of serious falls and serious injuries happening because a single step is shorter in height than all the others, for example. This can be an example of a "hidden danger." Although one irregular step, a few broken stairs or frayed, slick carpeting on a stairway may not seem overly serious, it may be a California building code violation and it certainly can have devastating consequences. We will research your injury case for these building code violations to see if a claim for liability may exist under it. If so, rest assure we will argue for it in order to make sure the condition gets corrected so no one else will experience the same injury.

What makes your injury law firm so different from all the other San Diego accident lawyers out there?

Blane Law Office has reached a prominent place in San Diego, Orange, Riverside and Imperial counties as a reliable, aggressive and successful legal team helping injured folks of collisions and incidents due to others violating well-known safety rules.

Mark Blane is not just a settlement lawyer, he is also a trial lawyer, and has argued injury cases to verdict in front of a 12-member jury. Not every lawyer taking personal injury cases has achieved this, and you need to ask your lawyer, do you have jury trial experience?

Mark Blane has been fighting for San Diego accident victims, and has successfully resolved thousands of cases since 1999, in either trial or pre-trial settlements, maximizing compensation for his injured clients.

Mark Blane meets each client personally, not all lawyers do this. He doesn't send an associate member or paralegal to "sign up a client." Mark gets to know our clients as a person first, and a client second. This is important, so he knows who they are and how the injuries affect them and how they will come across as a witness for themselves.

We have dedicated our practice to offering personal support to our clients which goes much further than a good knowledge of the local courts, federal and state regulations and past settlements. Mark Blane and his attorneys have dug deeply into the insurance companies' settlement practices and calculations, and into the detailed medical and financial consequences of serious injuries, including brain and spinal cord damage, and have aggressively fought for his client's rights for fair compensation.

While we can't say we are the best San Diego accident lawyers around, no one can legally say this - we do an excellent job for each and every injured client we represent. We take deep pride in our legal work and go to extraordinary detail on each personal injury claim.
