Faulty Handrail Injury Claim

Question:

Can I file a claim if I was injured due to a faulty handrail?

Answer:

I got a call from someone who was visiting a nearby public pool. They were walking down the steps and fell. What they didn?t realize was that there needed to be a guardrail there. You might have a situation where you’ve been injured and necessary protection wasn?t in place. In these scenarios, you could have a claim against that property owner. You’ve got to keep in mind there are building codes that property owners need to comply with. If they?re not in compliance, there should be some type of claim that you could make for their negligence.
