Elevator and Escalator Injuries

COMMON TYPES OF ELEVATOR ACCIDENTS

Elevator accidents can be particularly dangerous for any Austin-area child or elderly resident, as freefall poses a number of serious risks. Poor maintenance or a number of design flaws may contribute to one of the following dangerous situations:

  • Elevator freefall resulting from mechanical failure
  • Falls resulting from open elevator doors or exposed elevator due to mechanical failure
  • Misalignment of elevator as doors open
  • Electrocution from faulty or exposed wiring
  • Poorly adjusted sensors, causing doors to close on an individual

While Austin elevator accidents may be devastating, Austin escalator accidents also pose a number of potential hazards likely to arise from lack of proper maintenance or inherent flaws in design. If you were injured in a serious elevator or escalator accident in Texas, don’t wait to contact us at the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C. We may be able to help you file a premises liability claim for compensation.
