Stairway collapses, though uncommon, can result in serious injuries such as broken bones, head trauma, or even fatalities. These incidents often occur due to:
- Rotting or weakened wood.
- Loose, broken, or unstable steps.
Overloaded or improperly constructed staircases
Property owners are legally required to maintain stairways in a safe and structurally sound condition. If a collapse happens due to poor upkeep, failure to repair hazards, or structural defects, the property owner may be held liable for injuries sustained.
