Escalate case escalation

Can anyone tell me the OOB process for a case escalation that needs escalated to tier 3?  We run a 3 tiered support level where all cases hit tier 1 and are escalated to tier 2 as needed.  When tier 2 can't resolve, it's sent to tier 3.  Can we escalate a case escalation record or do we need to create a new case escalation record?  Since tier 2 is working from the escalation record, going back to the original case to create another escalation seems to go against the escalation process.  What is everyone else doing at your company?

Hi Brian - There are two ways to handle this: 

1) In the first option, Case remains assigned to Tier1. if Tier1 needs to help from Tier2 then create a Case Task for Tier2. If the issue needs help from Tier 3 then create Case Task for Tier3. 

2) The second option to re-assign the Case. When Tier 1 needs to engage Tier2 then Case is re-assigned to Tier2. If Tier3 needs to be engaged then  the same Case can be assigned to TIer3. 

Thanks.
