Atlantic City Accident Attorneys With Elevator and Escalator Injury Experience Necessary to Fight For You

Approximately 10,000 people per year in the United States go to the emergency room for elevator and escalator injuries. Oftentimes, malfunctioning elevators and escalators are the cause of very serious injuries and even death. At Targan & Pender, P.C., our Atlantic City accident lawyers have decades of experience litigating personal injury claims, including those involving elevator and escalator accidents.

In Atlantic City, elevators and escalators are in high use at casinos and hotels. Building owners are responsible for the safe operation of elevators and escalators, as are the companies that install and repair these machines. Malfunctioning elevators and escalators can improperly stop or close on an individual, causing entrapment or a terrible fall. The Atlantic City accident attorneys at Targan & Pender, P.C., have represented individuals who have been harmed on defective elevators and escalators. For example, a client was thrown off an escalator that stopped abruptly due to a long-standing defect and improper maintenance. The Atlantic City casino escalator owner, as well as the company that was paid to maintain the escalator, were both responsible for this problem. The client suffered a severe shoulder injury. After approximately one week of trial, both defendants settled the case in favor of our client, who required surgical implantation of a metal rod and socket.
