Support Rail Injuries
Railing systems are often installed on staircases and patios in order to provide protection against injury. If the railing is improperly installed, damaged, or defective, individuals using the rails may suffer serious injury.
People often depend on railing systems to help them climb or ascend staircases, and often use rails to hold onto while standing on patios at elevation. If the railing system fails as a result of negligence on the part of the property owner, the injured party may be eligible for compensation for pain, suffering, and medical expenses. If you have been injured in an accident involving damaged or defective railing, contact the Wausau personal injury lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier, S.C at 1-800-242-2874.
