New York City Faulty Elevator Injury Lawyer
New York City Elevator Accident Attorneys Helping Injured Workers Since 1981
At The Orlow Firm, we use the phrase "elevator accident" with reluctance. Why? Because the word "accident" implies that the incident was random, unpreventable and unpredictable. In fact, elevator malfunctions and subsequent injuries and wrongful death can usually be prevented by carefully following maintenance recommendations and standards. Unfortunately, while elevator maintenance companies and building owners know of risks, this knowledge is not always matched with increased diligence.
The New York City elevator accident attorneys of The Orlow Firm have handled third-party claims of hundreds of injury victims in the New York City area, including numerous people injured in elevator accidents. Were you injured from an elevator that:
- Had broken pulleys?
- Fell through its shaft?
- Caused an electric shock?
- Opened its doors on one floor when the elevator box was on another or had a misalignment problem?
Contact our firm. Our New York elevator accident attorneys will draw on over 60 years of combined legal experience while advocating for your rights.
Do Not Stop Once Workers' Compensation Benefits Are Obtained
While workers' compensation benefits themselves are usually limited to covering workers' medical expenses and a portion of lost wages, they do not limit workers' legal right to pursue compensation from other sources.
Often, other parties, like elevator manufacturers, elevator maintenance companies and site contractors are responsible for elevator breakdowns. When third parties cause injuries on construction sites, workers can file lawsuits against them in addition to filing for workers' compensation.
The Orlow Firm has recovered five, six- and even seven-figure sums for numerous workers since our founder, Steve Orlow, began his personal injury practice almost three decades ago.
