West Palm Beach Elevator and Escalator Accidents Attorney
What Would We Do Without Escalators and Elevators?
There are thousands of escalators and elevators in West Palm Beach and throughout Florida that transport millions of people each year as they go to work, shop, or get to their home in a high rise building. While these ingenious devices may not be necessary for buildings with one or two stories, we would be in trouble if we had to walk 30 or 40 flights in a high rise building. Because elevators and escalators have become part of our everyday life, we take for granted these devices will always work properly. Unfortunately, when something goes wrong, the results can be devastating.
If you have been injured in an elevator and escalator accident, you need an experienced attorney who understands the specialized issues and laws applicable to the operation of these devices. Complex elevator and escalator laws and codes can make it difficult to pinpoint the responsible party and obtain compensation. The elevator and escalator accident attorneys of Lytal, Reiter, Smith, Ivey & Fronrath have the skills, knowledge, experience, and resources needed to handle this type of complex personal injury case.
What Causes Elevator and Escalator Accident?
There are countless reasons why an elevator and escalator accident happens including human error and mechanical malfunction. Identifying the cause of the accident and determining who is responsible for the factors that caused the accident is vital in preparing a successful strategy to obtain compensation. As experienced Florida elevator and escalator accident attorneys, we investigate your claim thoroughly to identify and preserve key evidence that will be used to get you the compensation you are entitled to receive under Florida’s personal injury laws.
The complex design and the multiple movable parts and electronic controls of elevators and escalators require an experienced elevator and escalator accident attorney.
