FORT WORTH, Texas — A month after a John Peter Smith Hospital elevator accident injured a hospital employee, another Fort Worth elevator incident is coming into the light.
Rogena Wright, a Texas Health Harris Methodist nurse filed suit Feb. 5 against the same elevator contractor claiming injury or damages after she alleges an elevator "plunged several floors in a matter of seconds" last month injuring her back and causing the herniation of several discs.
Thyssenkrupp Elevator is listed as the defendant, which is also the same contractor that inspects and repairs the elevators at JPS in Fort Worth, where an employee was injured last month.
