What steps should I take if I am injured by a broken staircase or loose handrail in Florida?

If you are injured by a structural defect like a broken stair tread or loose railing, take these immediate actions: 1. Seek prompt medical care to evaluate your physical trauma and create an official medical record. 2. Take detailed photos and videos of the broken step, damaged handrail, and absence of warning signs before repairs occur. 3. Notify the property manager or landlord in writing and ask for a written incident report. 4. Collect names and contact details of any witnesses. 5. Consult The Altman Law Firm so Jeffrey S. Altman can preserve structural maintenance records before evidence is altered.
