This was the 1st time I've used Zanes Law. It was a fantastic experience for having to go through a situation most would rather not. The attorney and staff were always available to answer my questions and explained things clearly and were obviously 100% in my corner. My attorney, Jim, was very genuine and made me immediately comfortable when I came in to speak with him about my case. Every case manager I dealt with was patient and helpful. I would definitely return to Zanes should the time ever come again that I need a personal injury firm.

car accident

Zanes Law was a terrific legal experience. I first went to a law firm that only wanted me to go to physical therapy and pad the bill, so they could utilize my insurance policy to its capacity. Once I went to Zanes, they were honest, professional and prompt with calls almost once a week. Sometimes I got a call just because we did not have contact for close to two weeks. Some calls were to just ask how I was doing. I also received more money than originally discussed. Great job Zanes Law!!!!! If need be I will use their services again. THANKS

When Your Elevator Accident Happens While You Are On The Job

A good number of elevator accidents occur while a person is doing his or her job. When an elevator repair technician, for example, is electrocuted while repairing the unit’s wiring, he has been injured “on the job.” In these cases, the injuries and damages related to the accident are more than likely covered by the employer’s workers’ compensation insurance.

If you are even thinking about trying to collect these benefits, you need to report your injury to your employer immediately. Failure to do so could invalidate your future claims.

If you suffered an elevator accident while performing your work duties, we will help you file and/or appeal your workers’ compensation claim.

Common Causes Of Elevator Deaths

The U.S. Labor Department’s Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries produced the following data in its report on elevator accidents:

  • Half the fatalities occur among repair or maintenance workers and office workers.
  • Half the fatalities in these groups result from falls down the elevator shaft.
  • Fifty percent of apartment dweller fatalities were caused by falls down the elevator shaft. The other half of these deaths were connected to the passenger being stuck between the elevator and the shaft wall.
  • Most accidents resulted from malfunctions and defects.

Common Causes Of Elevator Injuries

The Center to Protect Workers’ Rights conducted a study that gathered data within the construction trade. Among the top causes were the following:

  • Falling into an empty elevator shaft
  • Collapsing elevator
  • Failing equipment
  • Electrocution from “hot/live” mechanisms

Common Elevator Accident Injuries

Psychologically, an elevator accident can disable a victim from enjoying or experiencing much in life. The trauma can result in an individual’s fear of elevators, a disabling emotion that keeps the person from living in an apartment building, attending work on a high floor that requires an elevator to access it. These effects can ultimately evolve into claustrophobia or a fear of heights, each of which carries their own disabling tendencies.

Common Physical Injuries Resulting From Elevator Accidents

  • Head Trauma
  • Severing of Body Parts
  • Decapitation
  • Death
  • Crushing of hands and/or fingers

If you lost a loved one who died from injuries sustained in an elevator accident, you have the right to pursue a wrongful death action. The wrongful death attorneys at Zanes Law can handle this process for you with professionally and compassionately.
