Escalator Injury Claims Guide
How to file an escalator injury lawsuit.
1
Report the Accident
Report to building management or store staff immediately. Insist on a written incident report and get a copy with the date, time, and escalator location.
2
Seek Medical Attention
Get medical care right away, even for minor injuries. Escalator injuries can be more severe than they initially appear.
3
Document Everything
Take photos of the escalator, any visible defects (missing comb teeth, worn steps), and your injuries. Get witness contact information.
4
Preserve Evidence
Keep clothing or shoes that were damaged in the accident. These may show how the injury occurred (entrapment, etc.).
5
Consult Premises Liability Attorney
Escalator cases involve multiple defendants (owners, manufacturers, maintenance). An experienced attorney can identify all liable parties.
