What is elevator insurance?

Elevator insurance is very similar to car insurance, one of the purposes of car insurance is to protect people from paying for injuries and financial loss, whether for themselves or a third party, you only have to pay a premium to the insurance company, and in the event of an accident, the insurance company pays compensation on your behalf.

Elevator insurance works in a similar way to that in car insurance, where elevator owners (manufacturers or users) pay a premium to the insurance company, and the insurance company takes responsibility for losses that occur for an accident that caused injury to a person or malfunctions that require repairs, the insurance company will intervene.

In the event that a person is injured in an elevator or escalator accident, and he files a lawsuit against the officials of the place, the player will deal with his insurance company throughout the legal accountability.

Then the insurance company inspects the site and the accident and if necessary, it hires one of its lawyers to assume full responsibility for the person concerned until the matter reaches the payment of compensation to the insured or to the owner of the damage from the third party.
