New York City Elevator Accident Lawyers

Greenstein & Milbauer, LLP — Personal Injury and Wrongful Death

The New York City area has more than its fair share of elevators. Many of them are perfectly safe and in good working condition — even many of the older models. However, it should come as no surprise that some are poorly maintained, not up to code, or in need of repairs.

Elevator accident almost always happen for one of two reasons: either the elevator itself was poorly designed or manufactured and it failed for that reason, or the building owner or its agents did not maintain the elevator properly.

Much like a slip- or trip-and-fall accident, an elevator accident is a good example of a premises liability case. An elevator that has been inadequately maintained or was unsafely designed has the potential to harm a passenger. An elevator that does not line up properly with the floor can be a hazard as well and may cause a person to slip or get caught. Other possible elevator risks that may cause physical injury include a sudden drop, jammed doors or door closures.

Fortunately, elevators are highly regulated in New York City and the law holds property owners, landlords, maintenance companies and manufacturers responsible for injuries and deaths caused by their negligence. Because we are aware of how complex any premises liability case can be, our lawyers take the investigation and preparation of these cases very seriously. We work with a handful of top experts to investigate and develop these cases, sparing no effort or resource to do so. Considering what you've been forced to endure, it's the very least we can do.
