Question:
What should I do if I fall due to a faulty handrail in Southwest Florida?Answer:
We had a lady come to us that slipped. She tried to grab the handrail to stop her fall, and the handrail kind of pulled out of the wall. She asked me, “Do I have a case here?” Our answer was, “Absolutely, yes.” In Florida, a property owner has to keep their property in a reasonably safe condition, that includes, if you’re walking downstairs, the stairs have to be appropriately built and also have appropriate surfaces on them so they’re not slippery, and also the handrail has to be appropriate. In this particular case, the handrail kind of pulled out of the wall. We’ve handled other cases where the handrail might not be long enough, where the handrail might be painted with a slippery type of paint to when there’s water on it, your hand can slip off the rail. There are a lot of different things that a property owner has to do to make sure that it’s safe when you’re walking downstairs, and that includes having an appropriate handrail. If you’ve had an injury like this, please reach out to our firm. We handle these sort of cases often.Were you or a loved one injured in a slip and fall accident in Florida due to the carelessness or negligence of someone else and have questions about a faulty handrail injury?
