A Recent Case Illustrates Our Effectiveness in Handling Escalator and Elevator Accident Cases
Our client was in a Dallas County building when the elevator she was in stopped suddenly then opened, leaving a two- to three-inch rise in the floor as she left the elevator. The malfunction led to a serious back injury and the need for back surgery.
We accepted the case and immediately began a comprehensive investigation that included a review of elevator maintenance records. Our investigation revealed negligence on the part of both Dallas County and the elevator manufacturer. After thoroughly preparing the case for negotiations we accepted a confidential and high-value settlement offer to the delight of our client.
