Safety Starts With Solid Ground
Tenants and guests move in and out daily. Ensuring your walkways and stairs are safe isn’t just good practice—it’s essential for protecting yourself from lawsuits.
Key Concerns:
-
Cracked or Uneven Sidewalks: These are one of the most common causes of injury-related insurance claims.
-
Loose or Missing Handrails: Any stair with more than three steps should have a secure handrail to help prevent falls.
-
Poor Exterior Lighting: Inadequate lighting can lead to nighttime falls and also increases the chance of break-ins.
Risk Solved: These improvements lower your liability exposure by reducing the chances of tenant or visitor injuries. Properties with well-maintained walking surfaces and lighting are less likely to be involved in costly slip-and-fall claims, which can also reduce legal and reputational risk.
