That's an interesting idea!
I think that the liability will just travel a layer of indirection. So in your example, I would think that the company that made the elevator would still be liable for any harm that their product causes -- if it can be established that it is their fault that a 12 year old's finger got bruised because of a poor design for the elevator.
Disagree partly - once there is monetary alignment to said risk - lets say something like the insurance policy of a Surgeon, there will be a quick alignment. All this indirection is due to lack of actuarial involvement.
