Re: Two broken feet resulting from fall down fire escape

You likely have a case. I think it's foreseeable that one can get injured from using a fire escape. And since you were essentially forced to use the fire escape, as a result of possible negligent management of the premises, I think you may have a pretty good case. Give us a call or send me an email if you have any other questions. We would be happy to help you.
