Take it from the Toledo injury lawyers at the Charles Boyk Law Offices, devastating accidents can happen at any time and in any location–even in the workplace. Sometimes, failing to adhere to safety procedures or faulty machinery can result in significant personal injury and leave the employee unable to work for weeks, months, and even years. If you have lost a family member due to the negligence of another party, contact a Toledo elevator wrongful death lawyer.

Such is the case of Suzanne Hart, who was fatally injured in an Ohio elevator accident on December 14th, 2011. On that day, mechanical crews were working on an elevator in Hart’s office building and had overrode the safety system to have full access to the elevator. After completing work for the day and leaving the building, Hart stepped into the elevator only to have it immediately jump upward with its doors open, crushing Suzanne between the floors. The elevator crew failed to re-enable the safety device on the elevator upon allowing it to resume service and violated code by not publicly posting that the elevator was undergoing repairs.
