$1 million dollar lawsuit filed against raycisss escalator by ben crump


The law firm states that A.W. was shopping with her parents at H-E-B when she "became trapped by a dangerously wide gap between the escalator steps and the skirt." The lawsuit claims that defective skirt safety switches failed to stop the escalator and that the escalator was put back into service without the required investigation, leading to spoliation of evidence.

"Despite the family's efforts to free her, A.W.'s fingers were severed down to the palm, leaving her permanently disabled," Crump's law firm said in a news release.
