Elevators, like all mechanical devices, require regular professional maintenance to guarantee their safety and proper functioning so that they pose no threat to users and operators. Statistically, there are tens of millions of elevators going up and down nonstop every day in the USA. With so many elevators operating everyday, it is not uncommon for them to malfunction from time to time. According to a ConsumerWatch.com study, approximately 18 billion elevator trips per year take place in the USA with an average of 27 fatal elevator accidents per year. Most often, elevator accidents are due to poor maintenance, defective manufacturing, or user negligence. When an elevator accident occurs, the Perazzo Law Firm's staff of personal injury attorneys has the skills and dedication for determining fault for the elevator accident. If and when fault can be proven and a case presented against a manufacturer, service provider, or third party wrongdoer, a compensation claim for injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, etc., can be presented to the responsible party's insurance provider. Elevator Accidents fall under Premises Liability Law, which holds public or private property owners, private or public business operators, etc., legally liable for the accidents that take place on said premises which result from negligence on their behalf.
