Description:
The
elevator industry has traditionally provided the safest form of
public transportation, carrying people more miles without incident or
accident than automobiles, buses, trains, aircraft or ships.
Even
so, "accidents will happen," and when they do occur, it is
the responsibility of management, investigators, risk management and
legal specialists to determine "what really did happen."
With life and limb often involved, all cooperate to unearth the true
facts of an unfortunate event.
It is important for
industry members to be fully aware of the intricacies of legal action
and become familiar with situations previously experienced in the
field. Accidents, by their very nature, result from a complex chain
of random events - many difficult to totally guard against and some a
one time occurrence.
In assessing liability, litigants
heavily rely on precedent and proper case preparation. This book was
developed to enumerate cases which have been adjudicated - describing
specific accidents, subsequent judgements, deposition development and
preparation.
During the period 1961-1982, ELEVATOR WORLD
first published the writings of Consultant John Miller in the "Court
Cases of Consequence"column. Later, various attorneys authored
articles concerning risk management, investigations, depositions and
courtroom involvement. In recent years, Robert R. Fischer, Sr.,a
veteran risk management specialist, has prepared court case records
forthe " Law and Liability" column. Elevator Industry Law
and Liability: Including Court Cases of Consequence contains over 30
years of experience provided by ELEVATOR WORLD authors, who have
specialized in the legal field as it relates to equipment design,
installation, maintenance and business management within the elevator
industry.
Although many inspectors and consultants will
wish to own this book, company managers are likely to benefit most
from having this compilation in their library.
