Work With An Expert Who Cares

When property owners and managers fail to perform routine upkeep of elevators used by the residents or the public, the negligence can cause catastrophic results. If you have been injured in an elevator accident that you believe could have been avoided, you may have a claim to compensation.

Isaiah Jerez is an elevator accidents attorney with over a decade of experience helping people recover from damages they’ve suffered after an accident. Jerez Law currently serves clients across Las Vegas, Nevada & Salt Lake City, Utah with a deep commitment to professionalism, legal advocacy, and care.

Why Do Elevators Malfunction?

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), elevator defects injure more than 10,000 people each year. This shocking statistic underscores the importance of regular maintenance and inspection of these machines.

When things go wrong, you must be able to show the court that the accident was caused by a malfunction that could have been prevented with proper care from the owner or manager. Some signs of elevator maintenance negligence may include:

  • Pulley System Degradation
  • Infrequent Maintenance Records
  • Inspections Performed By Unqualified Personnel
  • Hazards In The Construction of the Elevator
  • Unresponsive Doors Causing Crushing Injuries
  • Faulty Wiring
  • And more…

If you have been injured in an elevator accident, you may want to consider speaking with an attorney. By finding out why a malfunction occurred, you can begin to think about whether or not another party is responsible for the damage.

Who Is Liable in an Elevator Accident Lawsuit?

Depending on the specifics of your situation, you will typically bring an elevator accident claim against an individual property owner or their insurance company. Identifying the liable party (those who are responsible for causing your injuries) is one of the key aspects of any case.

What Should You Do If You’ve Just Been Injured In An Elevator Accident?

In the aftermath of a malfunction, it’s important to try and remain calm. In these catastrophic situations, it’s helpful to take a few simple steps to protect yourself and your future wellbeing…

  • Call 911or hit the emergency call button to signal for help.
