Houston Porch and Stair Collapse Lawyers

Premises liability law seeks to hold property owners accountable for injuries to guests due to foreseeable
consequences of disrepair or inadequate maintenance. The law holds that a person injured while visiting
a building or grounds has a legal right to pursue financial compensation through a legal action against
the property owner. In retail and commercial settings, the insufficient maintenance of sidewalks and
other ground level surfaces is frequently at fault for dangerous slip and falls. But the collapse of
stairways or porches where people might congregate has the potential to be far more serious.

If you have been hurt or your loved one has been tragically killed because a property owner failed to
keep a stairway or porch properly maintained and up to the standards of the local building codes, then
we can help you fight for justice. Contact the Houston porch and stair collapse lawyers of Williams
Kherkher at 832-369-8296.

Possible Injuries

When the weather is nice, many people would prefer to spend their time outside in the fresh air. Restaurants
that offer elevated outdoor seating become particularly appealing in the spring, summer, and fall months.
Wooden staircases and porches are particularly susceptible to wear caused by environmental factors or
the presence of termites, thereby creating a significant hazard if property owners are not vigilant
in the maintenance of the building. Possible injuries or consequences associated with porch and stair
collapse are:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Fractured bones
• Internal organ damage (caused by punctures or crush injuries)
• Severe lacerations
• Severe contusions
• Death
