Elevator Accident
For many of us in Chicago, elevators are just a part of our everyday lives. Many of us use them daily to get around the buildings we live in, visit friends or family in the hospital, at school or work, while shopping, and many construction sites use them to transport workers and supplies. Most people are comfortable in elevators and do not consider them to be dangerous. Although elevators are generally safe, mishaps and mechanical failures do take place, and when it happens it can be extremely terrifying and dangerous.
The amount of weight and strain put on elevators can take a toll on the cables and operating machinery. Regular safety inspections are required by law and it is the responsibility of property and business owners to make sure they maintain safe elevators. Property owners who don’t get the inspections done or elevator companies that perform inaccurate inspections that result in an injury may be responsible for money damages and injuries caused in an elevator accident.
