Stairwell Accidents in Tolleson

Despite how it is often portrayed on TV and in films, falling on the stairs in the real world is no laughing matter. These kinds of accidents can—and very often do—cause extremely serious injuries, and perhaps just as importantly, they are often entirely preventable but for the reckless or careless actions of whoever owns and/or operates the property where the incident occurred.

Even though stairwell accidents in Tolleson often serve as grounds for civil litigation which can lead to substantial financial recovery, obtaining the restitution you deserve through a lawsuit of this nature is not something you should expect to accomplish alone. Guidance from a skilled and experienced slip and fall attorney can be vital to maximizing the compensation you ultimately receive from your claim.

How Landowner Negligence Can Lead to Stairwell Accidents

It is worth emphasizing that while stairwells can be deceptively treacherous under even the best of circumstances, landowners do not automatically hold legal liability for every stairwell accident that happens on their property. Instead, landowners are only liable for accidents stemming directly from their own failure to take proper care of their property including warning lawful visitors about a particular hazard and inspecting their property often enough to discover new hazards reasonably quickly.

As a result, a big part of successfully filing suit over a stairwell injury in Tolleson or anywhere else in Arizona is proving that a specific unreasonably hazardous condition was the main and direct cause of that injury—for example, a broken step, a loose or missing handrail, frayed carpeting, or even a lack of sufficient lighting in the stairwell. The next step is showing that the landowner did not provide proper warning about the hazard and that they did know or reasonably should have known about it. Finally, they must establish the accident directly caused at least one injury requiring professional medical care.

What Damages Could Be Recoverable After a Stairway Accident?

If all the criteria mentioned above are met, the landowner in question is legally “negligent” and can be held financially liable for every economic and non-economic form of harm that the injured person suing them will experience from their stairwell accident in Tolleson. This can specifically include damages like:

• Medical bills
• Personal property loss/damage
• Lost work income and/or working ability
• Physical pain and discomfort
• Psychological trauma and suffering
• Lost overall enjoyment/quality of life

Importantly, it is not only possible but very often crucial to account for long-term damages that have not yet fully manifested when pursuing a claim of this nature. This might include the costs of expected future rehabilitative care, or a permanent loss of earning capacity caused by a long-term disability. A qualified legal professional from our firm could offer more specific guidance about exactly what losses a person should factor into their claim as well as help them estimate a fair financial value for those losses and proactively demand compensation for each and every one of them.

I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

I am very impressed by how much care and effort this group puts into helping the homeless. That’s not something you see enough, especially in this time of increasing need for community. It’s important to me to work with companies that align with my views, and I would definitely go to Phillips for any future personal injury lawyer needs.
