New York City Elevator Accident Attorneys
New York City is home to some of the tallest buildings on the planet. If you live or work in a building with some height, it is likely you depend on elevators to get you from the ground level to your home or workplace. In fact, there are more than 60,000 elevators in New York City alone. It is easy to take elevators for granted. Easy, that is, until an elevator malfunctions and you are seriously injured as a result.
If you, a family member or other loved one has been injured due to a malfunctioning elevator, you may not yet know who is responsible for your injuries. What you do know, however, is that you have medical bills from your injuries. You may not be able to work while you are recuperating. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you hold the responsible parties accountable while you focus on recovering from your injuries. Law Offices of David J. Hernandez & Associates helps injured people throughout the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island and throughout New York and New Jersey. Contact our law firm today.

Elevator accidents can take place under a wide range of circumstances, such as:
- Sudden drops between floors
- Uneven surfaces between the elevator and the floor
- Sudden stops or sudden acceleration
Building owners are obligated to keep elevators in proper working order. In many cases, owners hire out this work to elevator maintenance companies. Regardless of which parties are responsible, our law firm will locate these parties. Our next step will be to demand full compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering. We prepare every case with the intention of taking it to trial, and we will enlist the services of recognized experts to prove your damages. David J.
