About 27 People Die from Escalator Accident in the United States Every Year

According to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, there are over 30,000 escalators that carry more than 575 million riders each day. It was an estimated 12,000 injuries that occurred on these escalators in 2009, up almost ten percent from the estimated 11,000 injuries in 2007. While the media usually only tells us about the catastrophic injuries like entrapment of a person's hand or foot these injuries account only for about 10% of the total number of injuries.

Any escalator related accident is attributable to the fault or neglect of the building owner, manager or landlord as it is their responsibility to ensure that proper maintenance and safety of all tenants and visitors.
