Premises Liability or Products Liability – What Type of Claim Do You Have?
Depending on what caused an escalator accident and who is responsible, you could have either a premises liability claim, a products liability claim, or both.
Premises liability claims involve negligence by a property owner or manager. So, if an escalator accident is due to poor maintenance or upkeep, you would likely have a premises liability case.
A products liability claim involves a design or manufacturing defect with the escalator. For example, if the escalator has significant gaps between steps by design, you may have a claim against the manufacturer or designer if you get stuck.
