- Missing or loose handrails on staircases

Establishing Liability
For stairway accident claims filed in Comal, liability often turns on evidence gathered from specific New Braunfels locations, including I-35 through New Braunfels (one of the most dangerous stretches of interstate in Texas).
Stairway accidents often result from building code violations that are discoverable through property inspection records and building department filings. Missing handrails, irregular step dimensions, and inadequate lighting all violate established building safety codes that exist specifically to prevent falls. Evidence of prior complaints about the stairway condition or previous falls on the same staircase establishes that the property owner had notice of the hazard.
Relevant Texas Law
Residents of New Braunfels pursue these claims under the same Texas statutes that govern all state personal injury actions.
Texas municipalities adopt building codes that set specific standards for stairway construction including step dimensions, riser height uniformity, handrail requirements, and lighting levels. Violations of these adopted building codes constitute evidence of negligence in Texas premises liability claims. Under Texas common law, a property owner who is aware of a dangerous stairway condition and fails to repair it or warn visitors can be held liable for resulting injuries.
