Hazardous Stairs In Train Stations
Serious injuries can occur when individuals are unaware of the dangers they may encounter on public or private property. Property owners have a responsibility to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition and to warn of potential dangers. If they fail to do so and someone is injured, they may be liable for the injury.
Stairs in train stations can cause people to fall for reasons such as:
- Stairs or steps that are broken, unstable or slippery
- Lack of handrails
- Water, snow or ice
- Inadequate lighting
Throughout the rest of the train station, people may also slip or trip and fall because of spills, defective flooring or improperly secured floor mats. Slip-and-fall accidents frequently cause injuries to the brain and spinal cord. People may also suffer knee injuries, ankle injuries and shoulder injuries.
Any of these injuries may cause severe pain, require surgery and a long recovery period and will result in a temporary or permanent disability. Injury victims will need compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any related expenses.
