Elevators provide an excellent service for transporting goods, or people, from one place to another. They are commonly used to assist people with walking disabilities and, they are used to transport heavy loads or equipment. Hospital buildings, shopping malls, hotels, schools, apartment buildings, and construction sites are likely to have elevator services. Though elevators are used for our benefit, in some occasions, elevators can malfunction and cause serious injuries such as head injuries, spinal chord damage, and broken bones.
In the U.S., approximately 11,000 people a year are seriously injured in an elevator accident, and 27 others suffer a wrongful death. Sudden stops, doors failing to open or close, pulley or electric malfunctions are common causes of injuries.
