Common Types of Escalator and Elevator Accidents
Elevators and escalators are used frequently to transport thousands of pounds at a time, which means that they need to be regularly checked and maintained in order to prevent breakdowns, accidents and injuries. Accidents may occur as the result of:
- Escalator steps becoming loose
- Jammed elevator doors
- Misleveling
- Floor hazards
- Strained elevator cables
- Failing elevator brakes
After an accident involving an escalator or elevator, claims may be filed against landlords, the manufacturers of the products or the owners of the properties who have failed to protect users from harm.
