Elevator and Escalator Accidents
Elevators are dangerous places for construction and maintenance workers; however, passengers are also easily injured. Children are especially vulnerable to elevator accidents. The most common injuries to elevator passengers include:
- Elevator doors closing on clothes or limbs
- Doors shutting or opening improperly
- Sudden drops or rises
- Falls into open or unmarked elevator shafts
- Cables snapping
Escalators can also cause serious injuries. Older adults are prone to falls, and children can get feet, hands or clothing caught in the escalator steps. The injuries they suffer can be permanent and debilitating.
Injuries caused by elevators or escalators are often due to manufacturing defects or unsafe conditions. In some cases, the product manufacturer and the property owner may both be liable. We can represent you whether you were injured as a passenger or in a workplace accident.
