You've Been Injured by an Unsafe Elevator in Pennsylvania. Now What?
Elevator accidents are, like medical malpractice injuries and plane accidents, somewhat unusual. Why? Because, unlike car accidents, there are fewer variables and risks. Only professionals can maintain elevators and, like in the medical and flight industries, countless regulations and official procedures are in place to ensure safety in the long term. When an elevator accident occurs, then, it is likely because a property owner, elevator manufacturer or maintenance company negligently cuts corners.
