Elevator/Escalator Accidents
Bronx Elevator / Escalator Accident Lawyers
Elevators and escalators are, for many of us, part of our everyday lives. Subway stations, skyscrapers, airports, sports facilities, apartment buildings, shopping malls, schools, hotels and hospitals use elevators and escalators to transport individuals. People step onto an elevator or escalator without even thinking about potential dangers.
Due to their frequent use and ability to transport thousands of pounds at a time, elevators and escalators must be regularly checked and maintained to avoid disaster. Unfortunately, accidents do occur. Escalator steps may become loose, allowing clothing, fingers and toes to get caught in the teeth. Elevator risks include jammed doors, mis-leveling, and floor hazards that may cause a slip and fall / trip and fall. In addition, elevator cables may become strained or brakes may fail, causing the elevator to plummet.
