Common Causes

  • Missing or loose handrails on staircases
  • Broken or crumbling steps on exterior staircases
  • Inconsistent step heights that cause missteps
  • Worn or torn carpet on interior stairs
  • Inadequate lighting in stairwells
  • Debris or objects left on stairway steps

Typical Injuries

  • Broken ankles and legs from tumbling down stairs
  • Head injuries from striking steps or walls during the fall
  • Spinal injuries from landing at the base of the stairway
  • Wrist and arm fractures from bracing on impact
  • Hip fractures especially in elderly persons
  • Facial injuries from falling forward on stairs

How We Prove Liability

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.

Texas Legal Framework

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Medina & Medina, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.

In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.

While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.

Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and impact on your life. Contact Medina & Medina for a free evaluation of your case.
