Though Atlanta law firm Cash, Krugler & Fredericks has already settled the Helveys’ tragic lawsuit, the case continues to make waves in Atlanta.
Fox 5 with Dana Fowle featured the Helvey family this month to warn other families of the dangers of residential elevators. On Christmas Eve 2010, the Helveys’ son, Jacob, became trapped in the Cumming family’s home elevator’s doors and suffered a permanent brain injury after more than 10 minutes without oxygen.
The Fox 5 I-Team Investigation filmed a segment demonstrating how in-home elevators lack basic safety features. The full video can be viewed on My Fox Atlanta.
