Who’s Responsible For Elevator and Escalator Accidents?

The owner of the property has a duty to persons legally on their property, that is expected to use the elevators and escalators, to take reasonable steps to keep them safe. Under California law, the property owner owes their customers and visitors a duty to make sure that the premises are free of dangerous conditions and hazards. California also requires property owners to have their elevators and escalators pass regular inspections. In addition to the property owner, it might be possible to also bring an action against maintenance companies for failing to properly maintain the equipment, an installer for a faulty installation, or against the manufacturers for defects in their products. It’s important to do a very extensive investigation into all parties that may have some responsibility for the elevator or escalator problem that caused the accident in order to collect the very large amount of money that’s necessary to achieve the best mental and physical health outcome for injured victims.
