Accidents Resulting from Elevator Defects and Failure to Repair
Many of us use elevators on a daily basis, never stopping to think about the possibility of getting hurt. Unfortunately, a great number of elevator accidents do occur, often resulting in serious or fatal injuries.
At the law office of Jeffrey S. Wasserman, P.C., I represent people who have been injured in an elevator accident in New York. To find out about your options for seeking compensation, talk to a personal injury lawyer. Since the day I opened my doors more than 30 years ago, I have been committed to helping victims recover physically, emotionally, and financially after a serious accident.
Elevator Accidents
Any number of factors can cause an elevator accident. I represent elevator accident victims whose accident was caused by negligence on part of property owners, elevator repair companies, and other responsible parties. Some situations that may lead to an elevator accident include:
- Elevator misleveling
- Elevator falling down shaft
- Elevator opening between floors
- Elevator door closing unexpectedly
- Elevator door jams
- Elevator defects
- Falling into elevator shaft
Your medical insurance policy may cover injuries resulting from an elevator accident. If coverage is provided, it is not necessary to prove that any person or party was at fault.
Otherwise, I can help you determine if the property owner or other party is responsible for your accident. I have more than 30 years of experience investigating serious personal injury accidents, and helping people recover physically and financially. I will work to determine who was responsible for your accident, and take appropriate legal action to help you move on with your life.
