Consider this scenario: You were seriously injured from slipping and falling on a commercial building’s stairway, and you might think it was your fault for misstepping. However, that may not be the case.
Specific building codes regulate commercial stairways to prevent injury. The rise and run of each step must be uniform within a fraction of an inch, and the location and dimensions of handrails must conform to code.
If an expert determines these codes were broken, we have a legal basis to seek compensation for your injuries and losses. Building regulations are vital for public safety. They reduce the hazards created by nonuniform steps, which pose an unreasonable risk to users such as yourself.
Building codes regulate the location, height, and dimensions of steps, railings, and surfaces in commercial and public areas. If an expert determines a condition that caused your injury violated the building code, that results in negligence “per se.” That means the party responsible for the condition is “presumed to be negligent.”
