BROOKLYN, NEW YORK (October 16, 2016)
A baby has died in a tragic elevator accident after her stroller plunged down an elevator shaft, according to abc news. The accident happened after the doors to the elevator opened and the woman stepped through only to realize that the elevator was below. The woman and her infant child were rushed to the Cooney Island Hospital, but the baby could not be saved. Investigators rushed to the scene in order to inspect whether or not the elevator was functioning properly. A report indicated that the elevator passed an inspection that happens once every five years. A resident of the building indicated that there had been problems with the elevator in the past. Our staff at the RMFW Law Firm were deeply saddened to learn about this tragic accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim as they cope with such an incredible loss.
