Can I claim for the trapped elevator? About two hours?

Being trapped in an elevator for more than 2 hours will reach the accident standard, but the specific punishment depends on the accident situation.

Elevator accidents are divided into general accidents, major accidents and particularly serious accidents, but generally no major or particularly serious accidents will occur.

According to Article 64 of the Regulations on Safety Supervision of Special Equipment, one of the common accidents is that the elevator car stays for more than 2 hours. According to Article 88, in case of general accident, a fine of 654.38 million yuan but not more than 200,000 yuan shall be imposed. "

Staying people for more than 2 hours is a general accident, and the maximum fine for the responsible unit can reach 200,000, but this fine is an administrative punishment for the responsible unit.

If the elevator accident causes personal and property damage, the responsible unit shall pay compensation for medical expenses according to the injury. But if there is no substantial harm, there is no question of applying for mental compensation or other compensation.

Unless the elevator liability company has purchased elevator liability insurance, there are clauses related to mental compensation in the insurance. For example, Jiangsu Province has tried out the first "spiritual comfort compensation" for people trapped in elevators in China, that is, passengers trapped for more than 2 hours can get 200 yuan compensation at most.
