Washington Escalator Injury Lawyer | Free Consult

More accidents occur on escalators than you might think. Some of them involve people falling while getting on or off the escalator, while others occur because of dangling clothing, accessories, or hair getting caught in the mechanisms. Sometimes passengers lose their balance and fall into others in front of them, leading to injury.

When escalator accidents happen, victims who suffer injuries can seek compensation from the company that owns, operates, and/or maintains the escalator. Our Washington escalator injury lawyer will work to recover the compensation you need. We offer a free case review to understand the dynamics of your case.

Recovering Damages After an Escalator Injury in Washington State

Injury victims can recover both economic and non-economic damages for their harm in Washington state. Economic damages repay you for the financial losses you suffered because of the accident, while non-economic damages account for your intangible losses.

The party responsible for causing your accident or injuries must pay you this money in order to restore you to your pre-injury condition as much as possible.

If the at-fault party is a company, they most likely have liability insurance to cover these sorts of incidents. You can file a claim with the company to recover compensation. Sometimes, a lawsuit will be necessary. This is when you file a complaint in court to recover the damages you deserve.

In either situation, you may be entitled to recover damages for losses, including but not limited to:

Medical expenses
Lost income
Physical therapy
Chiropractic care
Damaged property
Scarring and disfigurement
Emotional distress
Lost quality of life
Reduced enjoyment of activities

Who Is Liable for Your Escalator Injury in Washington?

Our team can investigate your accident to determine liability. For you to recover compensation, we must prove that another party is the reason you were involved in an accident and suffered injuries.

One or more parties could be held liable for your escalator accident. The at-fault party could be:

An escalator manufacturing company: The escalator manufacturer must ensure the escalator is free of design and manufacturing defects that can cause harm to users. They also must include adequate and clearly visible safety warnings for the operation and use of the escalator. When they fail to do this, and someone gets injured using an escalator, the company may be at fault for the accident.
The escalator owner/operator: Escalators are placed in large businesses, such as malls and airports. If the property owner also owns the escalator, they are responsible for maintaining the escalator, performing inspections, ensuring proper signs are posted, and making sure the business environment is otherwise safe for people using the escalators.
Escalator users: Most people are aware of how to properly use an escalator. A rider could be considered at fault if they were running on the escalator, playing on the escalator, or otherwise using it improperly.

Our Washington escalator injury attorneys will investigate your accident to determine who is responsible for it. Once we know who caused or contributed to the accident, we can pursue a case against them for the damages you’ve suffered.

Client Testimonials

These guys are amazing. Helped me throughout the process. Always there when I need help. Inititailly called a law firm (the one that has lots of ads on the radio), but they declined my case. Van Law Firm accepted my case without a second thought! Kudos to Daniel, my case manager, and Amanda who expedited my payment process. Highly recommended.

Milby Mags

Got in an accident at the beginning of the year and they have been awesome, especially with it being my first accident and me being like this. They have been very communicated, stayed in contact with me the whole time, giving me updates when there were any and even when there weren’t and answered any question I had. I would recommend them to anyone. Everyone I have talked to there has been very friendly. I would give them a 10 out of 10.

Ethan Gullet

They made sure that my insurance company covered what I paid for them to which included the gap for my car that was totaled. My medical costs were taken care of and reduced substantially so I was able to get more on my settlement. My case manager, Will Garcia, was always helpful in assisting me and answering any questions I had. They really did an amazing job with my case. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of this type of legal help. Most lawyers do not help you with the recovery of the car and rental etc. They are amazing.
