Elevator & Escalator Accidents

New Jersey and New York Escalator and Elevator Accident Lawyer

Accidents on elevators and escalators can cause serious injuries. It is very important that you know your rights if you or your child has been injured in an escalator or elevator accident. At the Law Offices of Lawrence M. Simon, from our New York and New Jersey offices, help clients recover compensation for injuries sustained on escalators and elevators.

Many different situations can lead to injuries in an escalator or elevator accident, such as:

• Getting caught in the doors of an elevator
• Sudden stops on an escalator
• Elevator drops
• Having clothing or shoes caught in the stairs of an escalator
• Falling into an open elevator shaft

Injuries sustained in these types of accidents can range from minor to severe, including broken bones, flesh wounds, abrasions, scars, amputations, and death. Our attorneys are able to determine the best course of action to take when seeking compensation for the injuries and losses you have suffered. We also handle wrongful death cases that arise from an elevator or escalator accident.

Though these accidents are not as common as car accidents, they do occur. In order to understand what to do in these instances, you need the representation of our educated and skilled professionals, who will explain your rights and the possible actions you may take. We listen to you, discuss the situation and help you explore the options you have against a number of parties that may be held liable, including shopping malls, individual stores, and companies that built the elevator or escalator.
