Escalator Elevator Injuries
Moving people up and down between floors of buildings and between levels of ground has been a challenge for architects and engineers throughout the centuries. From Mayan and Aztec pyramids to today’s skyscrapers in major metro areas, tall buildings and other structures have employed features such as the following to move people up and down:
- Stairs
- Ramps
- Elevators
- Escalators
If you were injured or if a loved one was killed falling down stairs, you may have cause for a personal injury claim or lawsuit. Likewise, if you suffered a serious or catastrophic injury on an escalator or elevator, it is important to talk to an attorney promptly to begin pursuing compensation. You may face months of hospitalization and rehabilitation after an elevator or escalator accident.
