For many, taking the elevator is the only way they can get to their home or job in a high-rise. However, when elevators malfunction, people can get hurt. The property owner or a third party may be at fault for your damages if you were hurt in an elevator. It’s their responsibility to ensure they maintain the elevators in the building.
If you were injured, suffered an illness, or had health complications due to an elevator incident, you may be able to recover compensation from the negligent property owner. A Nevada elevator injury lawyer at Van Law is ready to work with you and help you pursue compensation.
