Elevator & Escalator Accidents

New Jersey Lawyer:
Elevator and Escalator Accidents

A properly designed and maintained elevator or escalator provides a safe, convenient way for people to move through the levels of a department store or office building. When management neglects safety standards, however, the same elevator or escalator presents a hazard to shoppers, employees, and visitors to the site.

If you or a member of your family was injured while entering, leaving, or moving on an elevator or escalator, whether in a casino, hotel, or your apartment building, you may be entitled to a premises liability claim against the owner or manager of the property. It is important to have an attorney with experience in similar cases review your case as soon as possible after the accident.

Would you like our lawyer to evaluate your case?

Did your child suffer a crush injury when pinned in an elevator door? Did you suffer a fracture or a head injury in a trip and fall when exiting an escalator? Were you injured on an escalator in your workplace? At The Law Offices of John F. Marshall in Red Bank, our attorneys are committed to seeing that victims of negligence recover full compensation for their losses. We offer a free consultation and case review to every caller with an injury claim. Please contact our firm to arrange an interview with a lawyer with extensive experience in premises liability cases. We serve clients throughout the state of New Jersey.

If you have a case, our personal injury attorneys will immediately begin an investigation, seeking out witnesses who will testify that the management knew or should have known of the hazardous situation, examining safety inspection logs required by OSHA and state law, and having safety experts inspect the dangerous equipment. We will see that you receive the right medical treatment, and handle all paperwork and insurance issues on your behalf.

Moving walkway, elevator and escalator accident cases

Our attorneys are prepared to represent clients in a wide variety of serious or fatal accidents involving moving walkways, elevators and escalators. A sudden drop in a dormitory elevator, an irregular step on an escalator, a slippery surface in the hall of a shopping mall — all are hazards that may have been preventable. Whether your child suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or you are recovering from a broken ankle or torn rotator cuff, you may need help with your medical expenses, lost wages, and life care expenses.
