Escalator Accidents can be lead to permanent disfigurement and death, and many of the victims of these accidents are children. When an escalator is improperly installed and/or maintained, it can malfunction and cause passengers to severe harm such as digit fracture and amputation, tendon and nerve damage, and lacerations of varying severity. Defective Escalators, either in design or manufacture, can be quite dangerous and grounds for a product liability lawsuit. Escalator Accidents can be caused by sudden stops, collapsing steps, or clothing, fingers, and toes caught in the teeth of the escalator.
