Elevator Liability

KPD’s attorneys have experience defending grocery and retail stores, businesses, corporations, as well as their insurance carriers on elevator liability. Our attorneys will defend against a variety of claims including bodily injury or property damage resulting from the ownership, maintenance, or use of elevators, escalators, lifts, or hoists.

Elevator liability can be very complex premises liability claims and can be filed against property owners, elevator maintenance companies, or elevator manufacturers. Claims that may arise include power failure, errors by an elevator operator, speed or malfunction of an elevator or lift, and sudden stop or start, and our attorneys are prepared to defend against any elevator liability claim. Our civil team of attorneys will provide personalized representation, gather all relevant evidence, assess damages, and aggressively defend an elevator liability claim during mediation, arbitration, or trial.
