Product Liability For Your Faulty Elevator Accident

Under New York law, elevators must be safe and fit for transporting passengers from floor to floor. When entering an elevator, passengers expect it to operate without causing harm. Every component of an elevator must function properly to keep passengers safe and prevent accidents. Regretfully, a large percentage of all elevator accidents are caused by malfunctions. When manufacturers fail to construct elevators or components that are free of treacherous design or assembly defects, they must be held accountable for any resulting incidents.

Product liability lawsuits, especially ones involving faulty elevators, can be extremely technical, requiring comprehensive investigations, examinations, and expert witnesses to prove successfully. To establish product liability, we must demonstrate that the elevator or its components were defective and produced an unreasonable risk that caused your injuries. Additionally, if the elevator does not have adequate warnings, such as load capacity limitations, this could be considered a failure to warn. The Dietrich Law Firm P.C.’s expert team has a long history of obtaining justice for victims of defective products. To help the jury determine that the elevator was malfunctioning due to a defect, we will collaborate with our world-renowned manufacturing experts to testify about industry standards, how the manufacturing process formed the defective elevator, and how the flaw led to your injury. For instance, a manufacturing expert may testify as to how the design of an elevator’s counterweights triggered it to launch upwards, causing a passenger’s head to slam against the ceiling.
