I'm not sure I'd award her any money.If she was so mentally compromised that she decided to go down an escalator in her wheelchair than someone should have flown *with* her.I know this because I cared for my wheelchair bound,and neurologically compromised,Dad for almost 10 years.He liked Florida in January so we'd *both* fly down because if someone hadn't gone with him something *very* bad *surely* would have happened.

This is familial negligence...first and foremost.

Without knowing the arrangements between the contractor and the airline, and how that all interlocks, if this woman was compromised enough to get on an escalator with a wheelchair, I simply don’t believe she should have been traveling alone, period.

And it is hard for me to believe her family didn’t know she was compromised enough to actually put her wheelchair on an escalator.

I am sorry for her suffering and her loss.

But not a single member of her family could have gone with her, and entrusted her to strangers, and is now suing them?

I am not inclined to side with her family unless I know more detail. The family will likely win, this will be settled out of court, probably, but I don’t like the smell of it.
