The elevator door edge posed a hazard

Liberty Elevator Experts thoroughly analyzed the deposition testimonies, complaints, and discovery responses related to a case involving an elevator incident. Their professional opinion, based on the information available as of October XX, 20XX, suggests that XXXXX Elevator, among other defendants, could have prevented the incident by replacing the existing one-directional door protection edge with a multi-dimensional (3D) edge. The industry recognizes that one-directional edges, attaching to the elevator cab door rather than the hall door, pose hazards by leaving approximately 5 inches of unprotected space between the hall door and the door protection device.

The injury could have been prevented.

This lack of protection could lead to entrapment or injury. Liberty Elevator Experts assert that installing a multi-dimensional protection device, projecting into both the elevator cab and the hallway, could have mitigated this risk. They cite industry standards and expert opinions from Elevator XXXX to support their argument that failure to implement such safety measures constituted a breach of the standard of care.

Furthermore, Liberty Elevator Experts emphasize the importance of proper adjustment of hallway doors to prevent leading edge accidents, wherein the hallway door strike edge protrudes in front of the elevator cab door during closing, potentially causing injuries. They assert that a multi-dimensional door protection device would have likely prevented the described incident, thus suggesting negligence on the part of the defendants for not implementing adequate safety measures. Liberty Elevator Experts maintain that their opinions are based on a reasonable degree of professional certainty but reserve the right to modify their stance with new information. This comprehensive analysis underscores the critical role of advanced safety technology and adherence to industry standards in preventing elevator-related accidents and injuries.
