I'm sure this is just what you want to hear, but you need a lawyer. And a list of specific actions that you want them to take, like marking the stairs clearly and lighting them, perhaps?
Really? Everywhere I look around Atlanta, there are ads for lawyers who want to talk to people who have been injured in accidents. Admittedly, they might not be the very best lawyers, but they are lawyers. Ads are plasted on billboards, buses, benches, phone books (they were the last few times I saw phone books, anyway) - you name it, if it is a surface that is stationary for a short time, there will soon be a liability attorney's ad on it.
Then again, I'm thinking U.S.-centric, and you might not be in the U.S. Other countries might not be as litigious and liability happy as this one. I hope.
I talk to my old lawyer in CA, about finding one up here. He told me that I am not a personal injury attorney's ideal client. I didn't really pursue the matter.
Disability advocates never seem to be interested in actual advocacy, in my experience. One made an appointment to come and see me, then stood me up and blamed me because apparently making the appointment in a definite fashion wasn't enough, I was expected to mindread and confirm it all over again.
And when it comes to disability access, the laws might be there but in practice the companies always have a get-out clause.
Send them a bill. Then use the 'what about the children?' tactic? I don't know. They suck. And lawyers are completely ridiculous, and I've noticed that the ones that advertise everywhere, are the same ones who will turn you down in thirty seconds or less.
