Legal Help for Escalator, Elevator Accidents
With its casinos and amusement parks, Atlantic City, New Jersey, gets more visitors each year than Las Vegas. The escalators and elevators in our hotels and casinos run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in order to get our visitors where they want to go.
With the demands of constant operation and heavy use, elevators and escalators can break down and cause serious accidents, injuries and wrongful death.
If you have suffered an escalator injury or been hurt in an elevator accident, please contact the attorneys of the D'Amato Law Firm for legal help you can trust.
Our attorneys have successfully resolved numerous escalator and elevator accident claims. We know how to investigate the accidents, establish the cause of the accident and determine who is liable for damages.
Elevators and escalators need constant maintenance. Even regular maintenance may not be regular enough, when people still become injured before defects become apparent.
Tracking Down the Cause of Elevator Accidents
One of our elevator accident cases involved an elevator that suddenly began running much faster than normal. When our client hit the bottom floor, he was hurled high into the air. His sustained serious injuries that required three surgeries to correct.
Our investigation determined that painters working in the elevator shaft had dropped paint onto a device on the top of the elevator car that caused the accident.
Escalators and elevators are all run by computers, which occasionally malfunction. When that happens, people invariably get hurt. Our personal injury lawyers work quickly to gather the maintenance, repair records and the building security department accident reports. When necessary, we will retain our own experts to examine the evidence and prepare a report on what happened and who is at fault. Was it improper maintenance, a defective safety switch or a computer error? Whatever the cause, we will find out and hold those responsible for your injuries accountable.
