New York Escalator Injury Lawyers
Representing Clients Against Negligent Building Owners Since 1968
No city in North America has more elevators than New York City. As a result, elevator maintenance laws, guidelines and repair procedures take on an increased importance in one of the world's tallest and "most vertical" cities.
Despite numerous elevator maintenance laws, recommendations and standards, elevator accidents in New York City are common. These accidents are not limited to the nightmare scenario of a free-falling elevator car. Most elevator accidents involve:
- Elevator cars that arrive at a floor but don't provide a level surface between the car and the floor of the building
- Elevator cars that don't arrive so that people step into empty elevator shafts
- Unexpected drops between floors
