Unsafe Stairs / Lower Back Injury
Secured a $1 million policy limit settlement in a premises liability case involving a client who fell down unsafe stairs at a nail salon and suffered lower back injuries.
Retail stair falls are often defended by pointing to the customer. The property owner may argue the condition was open and obvious, or that the customer should have watched each step.
Lower back injuries are also frequent targets for medical causation attacks. Insurers compare old records, imaging, and treatment dates to argue the fall did not cause the full harm.
A strong premises case answers both tracks at once: why the stairs were unsafe and why the injury fits the fall. That is the kind of pressure that moves a policy limit case.
This case involved a fall on unsafe stairs at a nail salon. If you were injured in a fall on unsafe stairs at a nail salon in Los Angeles, our attorneys know how the other side builds its defense because we used to be on it.
