Many public places, such as malls and apartment buildings, have elevators and escalators for the convenience of their patrons.

A malfunctioning elevator or escalator can be very dangerous. If you or someone you love was injured by a defective escalator or elevator, the Queens escalator injury lawyers of Parker Waichman Alonso, LLP will fight for you. Contact us today at 1-888-244-2273.
Malfunctions and Injuries
Elevators and escalators require regular service to ensure that they are working correctly. When they malfunction, they may become dangerous to passengers. The most common elevator and escalator accidents are:
- Falling down the elevator shaft
- Falling off of the escalator
- Getting clothing caught in the escalator or elevator
- Suffocation in stuck elevators
The injuries resulting from these accidents may be as minor as bumps and bruises to as serious as permanent brain damage. In some severe cases, victims may even pass away after an elevator or escalator accident.
People who suffer injuries in elevator and escalator related accidents may be entitled to financial compensation from the owner of the property where the injury occurred. If your life has been affected by such an accident, our Queens escalator injury attorneys can help you seek fair compensation.
