Ocala Attorney Protecting Trip-and-Fall Victims
Whether you are on private or public property, you seldom give stairs and ramps a close look before you use them. Strict laws govern the responsibilities of property owners to maintain safe premises, but when they fail to do so, people can suffer serious injuries. If you have been hurt in a trip-and-fall accident, make sure you stand up for yourself.
Gainesville defective ramps and stairs lawyer Steven Wingo has been protecting the rights of trip-and-fall victims since 1994. He can help you evaluate your options and file a claim against a negligent property owner or manager, so you get the full extent of compensation you deserve.
What to Do After Your Trip-and-Fall on the Stairs
Many trip-and-fall accidents are caused by conditions that are not just unsafe, but illegal, too. Property owners must follow strict code requirements to prevent these types of accidents and injuries. All property owners have to maintain stairs, ramps and other pathways that are frequented by pedestrians.
Conducting a thorough investigation and working with experts, Steven Wingo and his firm will determine whether the stairs or ramp where your trip-and-fall occurred were up to building codes and standards. If improper maintenance or negligence led to your injury, they will make sure you obtain fair compensation.
