In a metropolitan area such as New York City, in which high-rise offices and apartment buildings are all around us, we often take for granted our safety while riding from floor to floor in an elevator. Most people can and will go their entire lives without experiencing the terror and helplessness of a malfunctioning elevator. But for those who are not so fortunate and have been injured, the gripping fear of an elevator accident is one that will not soon disappear. When personal injury results from an incident such as this, moving on from this fear is even more difficult.
When we enter an elevator, we expect our ride to be smooth and without incident. If this smooth ride is not the case, serious personal injuries can arise for the passengers inside. Should an elevator unexpectedly jerk or stop, get stuck, open without warning between floors, or suddenly drop several floors, the passengers inside can suffer adverse consequences. And when the cause of one of these accidents is negligent maintenance, faulty wiring or cabling, or an unsatisfactory inspection, the injured parties may have a claim for personal injury damages from the building owner or elevator operator.
