Tampa Elevator Accident Lawyer

How a Tampa Elevator Accident Lawyer Can Help

Malfunctioning elevators and escalators cause serious falls and crush injuries. We pursue the owners and maintenance companies.

Malfunctioning elevators and escalators cause serious falls, entrapments, and crush injuries, and the law holds owners and maintenance companies to a high standard of care for these machines. Skipped inspections and deferred maintenance are frequent culprits.

We pursue both the property owner and the company responsible for servicing the equipment, using maintenance and inspection records to establish how the failure was allowed to occur.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

• ✓Past and future medical expenses
• ✓Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
• ✓Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• ✓Property damage and out-of-pocket costs

Elevator Accidents FAQs

How much does a Tampa elevator accident lawyer cost?

Nothing up front. Mark H. Wright handles elevator accidents cases on a contingency fee — you pay no fee unless we recover compensation for you, and your initial consultation is always free.

How long do I have to file a elevator accidents claim in Florida?

Florida generally gives injury victims two years from the date of the injury to file a personal-injury lawsuit (shortened from four years by a 2023 reform). Some claims have shorter deadlines, so it is important to speak with an attorney quickly.

What is my elevator accidents case worth?

Every case is different. Value depends on the severity of your injuries, your past and future medical costs, lost income, and how the injury affects your life. We evaluate all of these to pursue the full compensation you are owed.

Do I have to go to court for a elevator accidents case?

Most cases settle without a trial. But Mark prepares every case as if it will be tried, which is often what convinces an insurer to make a fair offer.
