Slip and Fall Lawsuit For Inadequate Handrails On Stairs

Our question this week comes from Marissa:  “I am 65 years old. I live in a one of these new ‘over 50 communities’ which was built in the last three years.

I fell down a whole flight of stairs and compressed two vertebra in my neck, now I have to have surgery. The landlord’s manager told me I should have opened my eyes and been watching where I was going. Isn’t there some rule about carpet, stairs and handrails?“>

Avoiding construction truck crashes in the San Francisco Bay Area

truckaccidentconstruction.jpg

Construction sites invariably rely on large trucks, defined as those with a gross vehicle weight rating over 10,000 pounds, to pour concrete and move heavy materials.
