• Falls down elevator shafts
• Individual struck by elevator cars
• Elevator collapse
• Mechanical malfunctions
• Electrocutions

Depending on the circumstances, responsibility for accidents like these can lie with elevator or escalator manufacturers, maintenance teams, or property owners. Our Missouri elevator injury lawyers cna help you determine the root causes of your or your loved one's injuries, and who is ultimately responsible for them.

Limbs may be caught in doors, and serious injury occurs when cables fail and passengers plummet to the bottom of the shaft. Slip or trip and fall injuries are also common in escalators and elevators. This may be due to improper maintenance causing misleveling.
