A tragic elevator accident in Boston, Massachusetts, killed a man who was working on a freight elevator. The accident occurred when the elevator fell on the man after he had apparently rigged it to stay in the air while he performed some kind of maintenance.

According to the police report, the elevator accident happened at about 4:10 p.m. in a warehouse at State Garden Inc. The warehouse is used to hold produce. The man who was attempting to perform maintenance on the elevator does not work for an elevator company, but was working on the machine anyway.

At the moment the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as well as the district attorney’s office are investigating the workplace accident. While this victim was killed in the elevator accident, there are many other elevator accidents that happen all over the country where people suffer serious and life-altering injuries.

If you or one of your loved ones has been involved in an elevator accident, you deserve to recover compensation for injuries, loss of work, medical bills, and pain and suffering. To help you with your elevator accident claim, please contact an experienced elevator or workplace accident attorney to help you identify areas of compensation.
