In an office building in Houston, our client and her coworker entered an elevator on the tenth floor to go down to the first floor. Once the elevator doors closed, the elevator dropped suddenly at a fast pace. It came to an abrupt stop on the fourth floor, where the doors would not open at first. The fast drop and abrupt stop of the elevator caused our client to fall and her body to jerk in the elevator, resulting in serious injuries.
