New York Elevator Accidents

Have you been hurt in an elevator accident or malfunction? We can refer you to a lawyer that is experienced with New York elevator accidents.

In New York, elevators are everywhere you go throughout your day. We all ride them countless times each week. But did you know that elevators play a role in injuring 17,000 people and killing 30 each year in the U.S.?

Those working around, in or near elevators are most at risk, as are passengers who are simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. There are strict mechanisms in place to ensure the regular maintenance and operation of elevators but things can and sometimes do go wrong, anyway.

If you have been injured in an elevator-related accident, it’s important for you to speak with a lawyer who is experienced in navigating all the issues surrounding those responsible for your injury and will be dedicated to making sure your rights are protected while you fully recover.

The Brooklyn Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service is Brooklyn’s oldest and largest attorney referral service, and is the only referral service in Brooklyn that has been certified by the American Bar Association.

We can help. 

  • Call (718) 624-0843 or
  • Contact us online 24/7.

We can refer you to a personal injury attorney in any of the five Boroughs of New York, as well as the neighboring Counties of Nassau, Suffolk, Rockland, and Westchester.

We have over 150 prescreened lawyers with expertise in virtually all areas of the law. Each injury lawyer on our panel must meet or exceed very high standards of experience and qualifications.

Do not leave the outcome of your personal injury case to chance.

How does the Brooklyn Lawyer Referral Service work?

Call us at (718) 624-0843 or contact us now online. Our friendly, trained staff will listen to you and hep connect you with a personal injury attorney who is right for you.

Our prescreened attorneys have on average over 10 years of experience and are continually being evaluated for customer satisfaction by our staff of counselors.

What Does It Cost?

The cost of the first meeting with the lawyer of up to one-half hour is free of charge for injury cases. The attorney will not charge you anything during this first 30-minute meeting.

After the first meeting with the attorney, you should discuss with the lawyer the cost of additional advice or representation. There are no further charges to you from the LRS and you are under no obligation to hire the attorney to whom you have been referred.

Call us today at (718) 624-0843, or submit your case using our online form.

The Lawyer Referral Service is a not-for-profit public service of the Brooklyn Bar Association.
