Elevator Accidents

On an annual basis, elevators and escalators kill about 30 people and seriously injure over 17,000 Americans. There have been horrid and tragic elevator accidents that have resulted in severe injuries and even death. Elevator accidents can harm both innocent bystanders and the construction workers who service and build them.

Elevator manufacturers, owners, and service companies have a responsibility to ensure the safety of their equipment and passengers. When they do not abide by inspection and equipment standards, the safety and well-being of many are compromised. Elevators are a necessity for people who are unable to use stairs and in tall buildings where stairwells are not a feasible route. Passengers should never have to question their safety when they step inside an elevator.

Elevator Shaft Falls

During construction, elevator shaft falls can take place with critical results. While there have been reported cases of individuals surviving falls from dramatic heights, a fall of only a couple dozen feet can be terminal in some instances. Tragically, many elevator shaft falls can be easily prevented through proper education and safety precautions.
