Northern California Stairway Collapse Attorneys
Stairway Collapse
Construction sites are filled with many hidden hazards, such as old or unmaintained stairways. Stairs on a construction site are often assembled for temporary use only; built hastily and in many cases, shoddily. Because of rotted or defective boards, poor assembly, flawed design or inadequate upkeep, stairways can easily collapse under the weight of a construction worker. Unsuspecting workers may fall several stories or fall onto an object below them, suffering severe injuries. Injury to the spine, nervous system and skeletal system are not uncommon in a stairway collapse accident.

If you want to take legal action, but are unsure of how to proceed, contact a northern California stairway collapse attorney at Estey Bomberger.

When you file a claim, you are given the opportunity to collect damages from the at-fault party for any expenses related to the injury or death. In a construction accident lawsuit, there are several parties who may be financially liable, such as the construction site property owner, manager or supplier. Our experience handling complex construction accident cases can be used to your advantage when negotiating with large corporations and insurance companies who may try to prevent you from recovering damages. Damages in a personal injury and wrongful death claim may include emergency room treatment costs, surgery expenses, hospital stays, lost wages, physical therapy, vocational rehabilitation, funeral costs, deceased's future earnings, loss of support, loss of companionship, emotional distress, and physical pain and suffering.
