Escalator Accidents

Atlanta, Georgia Escalator Accident Attorneys

If you were injured in an escalator accident, you need an experienced attorney to bring a claim against the proper party. Recently, the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) has been accused of failure to properly maintain excalators in the transit stations throughout Atlanta. These cases are successfully settled or won in court based on thorough investigation of maintenance records and reports.

Our Lawyers' Approach: Detailed Investigation

For more than 20 years, attorneys at Goldstein & Hayes, PC have successfully represented accident victims. Our track record includes more than 30 settlements or awards of at least one million dollars. We offer clients a detailed approach - all of our cases are handled by three paralegals, an in-house nurse and an experienced personal injury attorney.

As a legal team, we work closely with a group of investigators to determine the cause of the escalator accident. We start with a site inspection of the accident scene and interview witnesses. Our attorneys then begin to determine the cause of the escalator accident by looking at several factors, such as:

• Braking system: The braking system will wear down, so we will review reports to see if it was properly maintained.
• Escalator motors: The motors on the braking system need to be replaced every five years or it will eventually break down.
• Power failures: The breaker servicing each escalator needs to be properly maintained to avoid the uninterrupted flow of power.
