Elevator accidents are an example of a premises liability case, which are accidents that result from property owners' negligence, poor property maintenance, and unsafe conditions. The owner of a business or residence is responsible for the safety of all people on their property. It is their responsibility to repair and maintain the premises and provide an environment free of safety hazards and risks. An elevator that has been insufficiently maintained or was defectively designed has a potential to inflict serious physical injury upon a passenger. An elevator that does not line up properly with the floor can be a hazard. Other possible elevator risks include a sudden drop, jammed doors, closing of the doors.
Elevator accidents can happen to anyone, so follow these important tips to avoid elevator accidents and injuries:
- Do not use an elevator during a fire.
- Press the Emergency phone button if there is a problem.
- Tell the rescue personnel the elevator location and the floor.
- Do not try to open elevator doors that are stuck.
