Las personas que quedan atrapadas en ascensores, ya sea por unos minutos o por unas horas, podrían sufrir daños mentales y emocionales importantes. Algunos ejemplos de daños psicológicos que podrían producirse son los siguientes:

• Ansiedad
• Depresión
• Insomnio y otros problemas con el sueño
• Agorafobia o claustrofobia nueva o empeorada
• Pánico
• Fobia a los ascensores
• Estrés postraumático
• Pesadillas/terrores nocturnos recurrentes
• Aislamiento social (resultado de no querer ir a lugares donde puede ser necesario tomar un ascensor)

Regardless of the specific harm that occurred as a result of the incident, victims may have the right to file a lawsuit and recover compensation. This is because property owners could be liable for failing to identify and address hazards or dangerous conditions that could lead to elevator entrapment. In addition to property owners, the other parties/entities that could face liability could include elevator manufacturers, elevator maintenance companies, elevator installation crews, etc. For more information about your right to sue for psychological harm resulting from elevator entrapment, contact us today.

Si bien cada reclamo es diferente, algunas de las diferentes categorías de compensación disponibles para la recuperación podrían incluir las siguientes:

• Gastos médicos (incluidos los asociados a servicios de salud mental, terapia, asesoramiento, medicamentos recetados, etc.)
• Pérdida de ingresos
• Dolor y sufrimiento
• Daños punitivos
• Gastos jurídicos

¿Cuál es el valor de mi reclamo? – this can be a difficult question to answer without a thorough evaluation of your claim. The value of your claim will be based on the facts, including the total value associated with medical costs, lost income, and more. Of course, both medical costs and lost income will have a tangible value. With the evaluation of a professional, there could also be a value placed on psychological damages (i.e., on how psychological harm has affected everyday life). Although every claim is different, claimants could be entitled to recover a substantial amount in compensation – and sometimes even more.

Of course, to be eligible to recover compensation for psychological damages, you must be able to prove the psychological harm that you suffered as a result of the incident. It is essential that you have all necessary medical records, including records of the mental health services that you have received and all costs associated with prescription medications. In addition, it is important that you have the opinions of mental health professionals. In general, you must gather all relevant records associated with diagnoses that occurred as a result of the elevator entrapment.
