Escalator Accident Attorney in Atlanta

Elevator and escalator accidents can cause serious injury or even death.  These can affect those using the elevators or escalators or those working on them.  If you have been injured in such an accident, an Atlanta personal injury attorney can help you to pursue compensation.  You may have a case whether the incident occurred in a private, commercial or government building.  Elevators accidents can also occur on construction sites, including mining and excavating sites and be the subject of a lawsuit.

Elevator and escalator accidents occur in many forms.  Maintenance workers may fall into a shaft, be caught between moving parts, or be struck by elevators or counterweights.  Passengers might fall into the shaft if the doors open without the elevator present or the elevator they are in may fall.  Clothing or body parts may become caught in between moving mechanisms of an elevator or escalator.  Or certain conditions may contribute to a slip and fall accident.
