Elevator & Escalator Accident Lawyer in Florida

Liability often extends beyond just the property owner. Depending on the situation, responsible parties may include the property management company, maintenance contractors, elevator manufacturers, or third-party service providers. These entities have a legal duty to ensure the equipment is safe and functioning as intended.

At Comras & Comras, we conduct a detailed investigation to determine exactly what went wrong and who is responsible. We don’t stop at the obvious—we dig deeper, using expert insight and technical evaluations to uncover all potential sources of liability.

They can be—especially when property owners are quick to repair or conceal the defect after the incident. That's why fast legal action is critical. These cases often require technical expertise, access to maintenance records, surveillance footage, and expert testimony to prove negligence.

Our firm moves quickly to preserve evidence and retain engineering or elevator safety experts. We know what documentation to request and what tactics building owners use to avoid responsibility. From the moment you call us, your case is prepared with trial in mind—even if it never gets that far.

Premises liability laws still apply in public buildings. If your injury was caused by malfunctioning or poorly maintained equipment, the business or property owner may be legally responsible. Public spaces are held to high standards of care—and when they fail, you have the right to pursue damages.

We’ve helped clients injured in shopping centers, hotels, office buildings, apartment complexes, and public transportation hubs. No matter where it happened, we’ll evaluate your case and hold the right party accountable.

These incidents can cause a wide range of injuries—from broken bones and dislocated joints to traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and permanent mobility issues. Escalator injuries often involve falls, entrapments, or sharp edge lacerations, while elevator accidents can involve crush injuries, free falls, or sudden jolts that cause severe trauma.

We work with medical professionals to fully document the extent and long-term impact of your injuries. Our goal is to ensure your recovery includes not just immediate treatment, but future care, therapy, and the support you need to regain quality of life.
