What Is a Stair Fall Accident Claim?
A stair fall accident claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you have been injured in a fall on stairs due to someone else’s negligence. Falls on staircases are one of the most common causes of serious injury in the UK, both at work and in public places. Poor maintenance, uneven steps, loose handrails, wet or slippery surfaces, and inadequate lighting can all create hazards that lead to accidents.
If you have suffered an injury in a stair fall within the last three years that was not your fault, LITKRAFT can help you make a claim and get the support you need to recover.
Who Can Claim After a Stair Fall Accident?
You may be entitled to claim compensation if you were injured because of:
• Defective, broken, or poorly maintained stairs
• Loose, missing, or unsafe handrails
• Slippery surfaces due to spills, leaks, or poor cleaning
• Inadequate lighting making stairs unsafe to use
• Lack of proper risk assessments in the workplace
• Unsafe staircases in public spaces, shops, offices, or residential blocks
Claims may be brought against employers, property owners, landlords, councils, or businesses depending on where the accident occurred.

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
