Our Personal Injury Law Firm Helps Clients In Escalator and Elevator Accident Cases
Although escalator and elevator accidents are rare, when they happen, they are extremely serious because the the human body is essentially going up against defective machinery. In many of these cases, people can suffer spinal cord injuries, broken bones, brain injuries, or loss of fingers or toes due to the nature of the escalator or elevator accident.
Some Causes of Escalator/Elevator Accidents
-Gaps between steps on an escalator can catch clothes, shoes, or luggage wheels, causing the escalator to drag a person down and make them fall.
-Sudden speeding, stopping, or jerking on escalators and elevators
-Spills on escalator steps or elevator floors
Who Is At Fault?

-The property owner did not properly maintain the elevator or escalator.
-The escalator or elevator had a flaw in its design or manufacturing that made it dangerous.
-The escalator or elevator was not maintained properly by the maintenance company or manufacturer.
