NYC Faulty Railing Lawyers Working for You
Studies have consistently shown that people are prone to fall going up and down a staircase, unless handrails are properly designed, installed and maintained. Property owners and landlords are responsible to ensure their premise complies with the building codes in their jurisdiction. For example, many stairways in NYC buildings with more than three steps are required to have a handrail. Wider stairways may need two or three handrails in order to comply.
When going down a flight of steps, people instinctively rely on their memory of each step instead of visualizing each stair. The height and depth of each step must be consistent. When landlords or property owners overlook design errors or fail to maintain their property, they can be held responsible for injuries caused by their negligence.
