Defective Elevator Accident Lawyers Fighting for You
We have been involved in elevator ligation cases across the country and have an unapparelled track record for making the elevator companies take responsibility for their poor maintenance. There is no excuse for an elevator to malfunction; it usually only happens when a corporation puts money ahead of safety. If you or a loved one has been harmed due to a defective elevator, contact our skilled Sussex County premises liability lawyers today.
Determining the Liable Party After an Elevator Accident
After sustaining an injury in an elevator accident, you’ll need to hire a knowledgeable defective elevator lawyer who can determine the party responsible. Typically, there are three primary causes of elevator accidents. They are as follows:
- Defective elevator parts: Defective elevator parts, such as malfunctioning sensors, brakes, pulleys, locking systems, and doors can all cause serious accidents. If your attorney can prove you were hurt because of unsafely designed or negligently manufactured elevator parts, you should have a valid product liability claim.
- Negligent elevator servicemen: Elevator repairmen must thoroughly inspect and carefully maintain elevators. If we can prove that an elevator repairman negligently did his job or failed to recognize certain issues that could have been prevented, he may bear some responsibility for the accident.
- Negligent property owners: Building owners are legally obligated to have their elevators serviced and maintained regularly. If we can prove the building owner either failed to have the elevator inspected timely or knew/should have known about an unsafe elevator condition, failed to fix it, and you were hurt as a result, you’ll likely have a valid premises liability claim.
Suing for Damages
As long as we have sufficient evidence to prove that you were hurt as a direct result of another party’s negligence, we should recover the financial compensation you deserve and need to heal. This compensation will help you deal with the monetary and non-monetary damages you’ve incurred as a result of your accident, including the following:
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Loss of consortium
- Emotional trauma
