Elevator Injuries

Few people recognize the harm that may result from using an elevator. Although an elevator that is properly maintained and operated is perfectly safe, the costs associated with these safety precautions can be significant. As a result, many companies may attempt to cut costs by either hiring incompetent maintenance contractors or operators, or even by forgoing maintenance altogether. When elevators do not operate properly, severe injuries may result.

Understanding Premises Liability

Property owners have a degree of duty to the people who are on their property, depending on the nature of their relationship. People who are on a property solely for the purpose of business are owed a very high duty of care, and failing to properly maintain an elevator constitutes a violation of this duty. Companies will often attempt to avoid liability by putting the blame on the company performing the maintenance, but if the property owner had reason to believe the work was not high quality, they are very likely still liable for any injuries that result.
