Falling Due to Faulty Stairs

Answer:

A potential client recently contacted us who said they had fallen and been injured as a result of faulty steps on some premises where they had visited. That is kind of a classic scenario of what we would call a slip and fall case or a premises liability case here in Mississippi. Whether you’re in Mississippi or anywhere else, that type of scenario certainly raises the prospect of potential liability on that premises owner or, perhaps, some other third-party who may have been involved in causing that dangerous situation or involved in faulty design or construction at that site.

Anytime you or a loved one are involved in a situation where there’s an injury that appears to have been caused as a result of someone else’s wrongdoing or negligence, understand that, under the law, if in fact you were injured as a result of someone else’s wrongdoing, you may be entitled to a recovery. The wrongdoer who caused the injury is the one who is actually paying for the consequences and the result of it. Under our law, that’s how we not only compensate people who are injured so that they don’t suffer harms that were caused by someone else, but it’s also how we hold wrongdoers accountable in the civil system so that they avoid that conduct in the future, so that they fix these problems, and so that more people don’t get hurt.

If you have questions about a premises liability case or a scenario involving a slip and fall that may involve some form of wrongdoing or bad conduct or negligence on the part of someone else, reach out to competent counsel. Get some advice and let them investigate the claim. You’ll be better off doing it that way than trying to do it on your own.
