Representing People Injured in Restaurant Elevator Failure

Arnold & Itkin attorneys Jason Itkin, Trent Shelton, and Wes Hook have filed suit in Galveston County on behalf of two restaurant patrons who were injured when an elevator catastrophically failed. Elevators in public establishments are required to meet rigorous safety standards, and companies responsible for maintaining them must conduct thorough inspections, perform necessary repairs, and warn visitors of known hazards.

In this case, those obligations were not met. When an elevator malfunctions to the point of injuring guests, it raises serious questions about oversight, maintenance practices, and whether the operator prioritized profit over safety. Incidents like this should never occur, especially in a popular community restaurant where families expect a safe environment.

Our premises liability lawyers are committed to uncovering what caused this dangerous equipment failure and to ensuring that those responsible are held fully accountable. Our goal is not only to secure justice for our clients but also to prevent similar failures from putting other patrons at risk in the future.
