Elevators / Escalators
Our Elevators and Escalators Group includes experts with hands-on experience with all forms of personal and product conveyances. They are supported by our Fire/Explosion Investigators; Architects; and Mechanical, Structural, Electrical, Material, and Biomechanical Engineers.
In addition to passenger elevators and escalators, these experts are experienced with personal home conveyances, freight elevators, and dumbwaiters. Their qualifications and experience include design, manufacturing, installation, operation, and maintenance.
Oftentimes, these investigations involve controller/safety defects, improper warnings, maintenance issues, mis-levelings, and falls/trips. Our experts can assist in determining potentially liable parties, including designers, manufacturers, installers, owners, operators, service/maintenance contractors, vandals, and/or the injured plaintiffs.
