Lewisburg is a close-knit community with active residential life, local events, and frequent guest traffic. That means stairs are used by:
- Residents and family members moving between levels
- Visitors unfamiliar with a home’s layout
- Service workers (delivery, maintenance, contractors) entering buildings on short notice
In these scenarios, property owners and managers still have a duty to keep stairways reasonably safe and to address known hazards. When they don’t—like when a loose rail isn’t repaired or a step is slick due to wear—injuries can occur even when the injured person was being careful.
