Elevators require specific and regular maintenance. A failure to provide regular maintenance by the building owner or by the elevator maintenance company can lead to elevator accidents and serious injuries.

• Types of elevator accidents: A mis-leveled elevator (resting above or below the normal floor level) could cause a slip and fall or trip and fall accident, and serious injuries. A sudden drop of the elevator, jammed doors, or doors that close on passengers could result in broken bones, head injuries and other injuries.
• Quick reporting, early investigation: When you or a loved one has suffered an elevator accident injury or any other premises liability injury, report the accident immediately to the building owner or manager and get the names of any witnesses. Contact a law firm that has extensive experience with investigation and litigation of elevator accidents.
• Know your rights: If you were injured in an elevator accident caused by improper maintenance, be aware that the property owner is responsible for maintaining a safe building. Talk to a premises liability lawyer about fair compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, wage losses and other financial losses.
