Staircase Fall – Personal injury lawyer
After a staircase fall, the safety of the stairs, the cause of the fall, and the consequences of the injury are often central. I assess liability and potential claims.
For Staircase Fall, these points are especially important:
- ›Damaged steps, missing handrails, poor lighting, or wet surfaces should be recorded immediately.
- ›Depending on the location, the owner, property manager, operator, or employer may be responsible.
- ›Witnesses, photographs, and, where available, CCTV can help establish the sequence and cause of the fall.
- ›Medical reports, treatment, inability to work, and lasting symptoms are important for potential claims.
The first step is to clarify: Which defect existed on the stairs, who was responsible for it, and how the fall can be evidenced.

Mr. Lerch provided me with highly professional, calm, and dedicated support throughout my legal proceedings. I particularly appreciated his honest assessment of my case and the clear communication he maintained throughout the entire process. Thanks to his strategy and preparation, we achieved a significantly better outcome than originally anticipated in the penalty order. I felt well-advised and taken seriously at all times.
