New York elevator accident lawyer David Perecman comments on the jolting reminder of elevators as potential sources of injuries and deaths.

Two elevator accidents in one week affected both people who work on or near elevators, and those who are passengers.

“Perhaps one of the most frustrating aspects of elevator shaft falls and accidents is that in most cases, the injuries and fatalities can be prevented,” said New York elevator accident lawyer Perecman. “If some guidelines were properly followed, elevator shaft falls and other elevator accidents may be avoided.”

The New York elevator accident lawyers at The Perecman Firm have handled all types of elevator accident injury cases over the past 30 years.
