Accidents on stairs are common, to make a claim for falling on stairs, they must be defective in some way and the slip accident must not due to your own fault.

Some of the fall on stairs claims we have handled have been due to lose grips. This type of defect can be very dangerous as the gripper can move when trodden on or be raised at the edge causing a tripping hazard.

Lose carpets or carpets with holes which a shoe can be caught in would be very dangerous and could be grounds for an accident claim to be made from an injured person.

A common cause for a slip on stairs claim is from when they have been cleaned and left wet without warning signs. If warning signs are in place, then slip on stairs claims could be reduced due to less people being injured.

On stairs located outside in the work place, we have handled claims where there has been a build up of moss which has been left by the employer causing a severe slipping hazard. Outside stairs should be defect free and have adequate lighting to ensure the safety of work personnel.

If the fall on stairs accident is at work or in a public place, if an accident book is available it should be filled in with as many details as possible.
