Elevators and escalators are encountered in many public buildings and private apartments. From retail stores to shopping malls to apartment elevators or office elevators, people ride in elevators or go up and down escalators every day. In most cases, the elevator or escalator works perfectly. In some tragic instances, however, an accident happens.
Elevator or escalator accidents can be deadly or can cause permanent disfigurement or other serious injuries. Victims who are harmed on an elevator or escalator should consult with an elevator accident lawyer to understand what their legal rights and options are.
