Elevator, Escalator and Moving Sidewalk
Injury Protection at Garber Law
Dedicated Service from an Experienced Premises Liability Attorney
During the course of an average year, most people use elevators and escalators frequently, and rarely ever think about their potential to do incredible harm to the people who ride them. We expect that they will work properly and that those whose job it is to maintain them will keep us safe and out of harm's way. Unfortunately, more often than people would think, elevators and escalators malfunction and cause serious injuries to their passengers.
Often, these accidents are caused by faulty equipment that has not been regularly checked or maintained properly. Since elevators and escalators, especially in high-volume areas, are frequently used and transport thousands of pounds at a time, this regular maintenance is crucial in preventing elevator and escalator accidents.
At Garber Law, our firm represents the victims of these elevator and escalator accidents who have suffered severe injuries as a result. We will work to hold the property owners accountable for not taking the proper steps to make sure that the people using their facilities are safe and secure at all times.
Elevator and Escalator Injuries and Their Causes
Our firm has seen cases of severe elevator and escalator injuries occur in office buildings, airports, apartment buildings, shopping malls, schools, hotels, hospitals and other commercial residential buildings. These accidents can be caused by:
- Loose escalator steps, which can cause clothing, fingers or toes to become caught and injured
- Jammed or malfunctioning elevator doors
- Mis-leveling of elevators
- Floor and step hazards on elevators and escalators
- Strained elevator cables
- Broken elevator brakes
In any case, it is important for you to get the compensation you deserve to begin your recovery and stop any pain and suffering that was the result of an elevator or escalator accident. Garber Law was founded in 1986 and has been helping the victims of personal injury for the past two decades.
