Fisher v. Jansen
Appellate Court of Illinois
Appeal from the Superior Court of Cook County; the Hon. John P. Altgeld, Judge, presiding.
1Opinion of the CourtGary, J.
The appellee was injured by walking through the open door of the elevator-shaft in the Beaurivage flats in Chicago, while the cab was above, and thereby falling into the pit below.
The fiats belonged to the appellants, and they employed the person in charge of the elevator at the time of the accident. There was no description by any witness of the character of the flats, or how they were occupied, further than that several of the witnesses “lived” there. Appellee was “stopping” with one of them. As a result of the accident the appellee is, to a considerable extent, disabled for bodily exertion.
