Brick, New Jersey Escalator / Elevator Accident Attorneys
Accidents involving elevators and escalators are often the result of poor maintenance and part defects. In most cases, however, shopping malls, office buildings, or apartment managers won't conduct an investigation in order to find out why an elevator or escalator malfunctioned. At LePore ♦ Luizzi , our lawyers act immediately to begin an investigation into the causes of an elevator or escalator accident. Before defective or broken parts are discarded and eyewitnesses forgotten, our lawyers consult safety experts, elevator technicians, and escalator repairmen in order to collect evidence and inspect cables, belts, motors, and other parts involved. We requisition maintenance records and repair schedules to determine if an elevator or escalator was properly maintained as instructed by a manufacturer.
If you have been injured on an elevator or escalator, contact premises liability attorneys at the law office of LePore ♦ Luizzi today and schedule a free consultation to discuss your case.
