New Jersey Elevator/Escalator Injury Lawyers

Elevators and escalators provide a handy service; they allow people to get to various levels of a building in a short period of time and without the hassle of walking up staircases. As with any piece of machinery, though, elevators and escalators require regular service and maintenance to operate safely.

When an elevator or escalator is allowed to run without regular maintenance, accidents may occur. If you or someone you love suffered an injury on an elevator or escalator, contact the New Jersey elevator injury attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. at 800-346-5529 to learn more about your legal rights.

Elevator/Escalator Safety Hazards

In many cases, elevators and escalators are found in private buildings open to the public, such as shopping malls. As such, elevators and escalators endure much use and wear down over time, requiring them to undergo routine maintenance.

Unfortunately, the individuals in charge of having elevators and escalators serviced do not always carry out their responsibilities. Improperly functioning elevators may:

  • Trap passengers
  • Cut off oxygen supplies

Additionally, faulty escalators may:

  • Injure feet and legs
  • Cause passengers to fall off

Accidents involving elevators or escalators can seriously injure those who use them. Injury victims may be entitled to financial compensation from negligent property owners for medical expenses, lost wages and more.
