The release said the escalator’s safety features were supposed to stop the machinery while the girl was trapped, but it failed. “This tragic incident has forever altered the life of a 3-year-old child and her family,” said Crump. “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.”
