Atlanta personal injury lawyers wish you a happy holiday season and hope you take care as you are out shopping, going to business meetings and holiday events. Be careful on wet or icy roads, and watch out for potential safety problems like broken sidewalks, slippery floors, or dangerously stacked store shelves. But whenever an accident happens, because of a safety condition which an owner or manager knew about or should have known about and serious injury results, an Atlanta personal injury attorney can help.
Georgia Premise Liability Attorneys Help Families of Accident Victims
Sometimes accidents happen unexpectedly, without warning, when we are going about a normal day like the elevator accident that killed a New York City advertising executive on December 14, 2011. Accident injury attorneys see accidents regularly that seem to occur at random but upon closer inspection are found to have been caused by negligence. Suzanne Hart, a 41 year old executive, was stepping into the elevator of her office building like she did most mornings on her way to work when the doors suddenly closed trapping her leg and the elevator lurched upward dragging her body into the elevator shaft, crushing her.
The cause of the accident while still under investigation raises concerns about the possibility of negligence. The elevator had just had electrical maintenance work performed on it about an hour before it malfunctioned. While elevator accidents are rare, with elevators making about 18 billion passenger trips a year, records show that about 27 people a year are killed in elevator accidents. Wrongful death attorneys help the families of victims of accidents caused by the negligence of others to find justice for their loved one and to recover from any financial losses.
