New York Lawyers Dedicated to Protecting the Rights of Elevator Accident Victims

Securing Compensation for More than 48 Years

From the subway system and skyscrapers to parking garages and apartment buildings, New York City is replete with elevators. Because these elevators are built with extensive safety precautions, they provide New Yorkers with a relatively safe and convenient mode of transportation. However, elevator accidents sometimes occur and the resulting injuries can be extremely serious.

At Irom, Wittels, Freund, Berne & Serra, P.C., we have extensive experience investigating elevator accidents to determine if poor maintenance or design errors were responsible for the injuries sustained by our clients. We are committed to securing compensation to cover hospital bills, lost wages and any other medical costs.

We have practiced exclusively in the area of personal injury law since 1961. Our attorneys have significant experience representing accident victims. Contact us today to schedule a free initial appointment.

Strong Background Establishing Liability

Our firm has vigorously protected the rights of accident victims for more than four decades. Part of our success stems from carefully preparing cases for trial. To that end, our attorneys routinely work with elevator engineers and other mechanical experts to closely examine the condition and design of the elevator in question.

We examine the maintenance reports to determine if the property owner or a maintenance company failed to meet strict state regulations for maintaining elevators. We also investigate whether the property owner failed to respond to previous complaints of similar elevator accidents or malfunctions. At Irom, Wittels, Freund, Berne & Serra, P.C., we are committed to providing our clients with committed, compassionate and compelling advocacy.

Pursuing the Maximum Amount of Compensation

Our goal is to secure damages cover to cover hospital bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and future medical bills. We work closely with medical experts and life care planners to determine the full extent of an accident victim's injuries. Common elevator accident injuries include:

• Neck injuries
• Back injuries
• Soft tissue injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
