Elevator/Escalator Accidents

In New York City alone, an elevator makes approximately 500 trips a day. As a mode of transportation, most individuals trust that elevators and escalators will not cause them harm. Unfortunately, this is not always true, especially when certified inspections are neglected. Injury and even fatality can occur when such crucial inspections are not done properly.
