Frequently Asked Questions
Who is responsible if a mall escalator malfunctions and injures me?
Depending on the facts, the property owner and/or the maintenance company responsible for servicing the escalator may share liability.
What if the building says the elevator was 'recently inspected'?
Inspection records are evidence, not proof of no liability — a inspection can be inadequate or a defect can develop shortly after.
