Obtaining Maximum Compensation For Victims
United States elevators make 18 billion passenger trips every year. When we enter elevators, we trust they will work safely, but when elevator accidents occur, they can be lethal. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says that, on average, elevators kill five people and injure 940 each year nationwide.

We Are Here To Protect You
Elevators in the United States make an estimated 18 billion passenger trips per year, but there are only a handful of inspectors to perform annual checkups for the nearly 26,000 elevators in the Chicagoland area. If you sustained injuries in an elevator accident anywhere in Illinois, Mr. Latherow and Ms. Duignan can investigate to determine whether the property owner, manufacturer, or maintenance company was at fault.
