What Is a Slip and Fall Claim on Stairs or Escalators?<\/h2>\n

A slip and fall claim on stairs or escalators is a premises liability case arising from a property owner’s or manager’s negligence in maintaining safe conditions.<\/p>\n

Stairs and escalators present hazards that differ from general slip-and-fall claims. A simple slip on a wet floor is one thing; a fall down a flight of broken stairs or an entrapment in a malfunctioning escalator is another. These claims often involve design defects, mechanical failure, inadequate maintenance, or failure to warn of a known danger.<\/p>\n
