The lawsuit accuses the grocery store chain and escalator outfitter of failures on multiple fronts, arguing that that the escalator was undermaintained, and skirt safety switches on the escalator should have triggered an automatic stoppage when the child’s hand was trapped. ‘I just want to raise awareness’: Mother demands answers after daughter assaulted by assistant principal in Katy ISD

The suit also alleges that the escalator was immediately put back into service after the accident before state authorities had investigated, leading to the destruction of valuable evidence.“The defendants failed in their basic duty to keep customers safe, and their negligence resulted in a young child losing her fingers in a horrific incident that could have been avoided with proper maintenance. This was completely preventable.
