    The Many Dangers of a Major Airport

    Every year we meet with hundreds of clients who have been injured in an airport. Airport accidents include:

    • Slip and fall injuries
    • Injuries caused by an automated luggage conveyor belt
    • Improperly prepared food
    • Escalator and moving walkway injuries
    • Car crashes in the parking lot
    • Pedestrians hit by vehicles
    • Whiplash on trams or buses

    You can be injured at almost any location in an airport. From the moment you arrive until your plane takes off, negligence can cause you harm. Certain locations in the airport are particularly dangerous for unaware travelers.

    Airport Parking Lot

    The airport parking lot represents multiple dangers. Most airport parking lots are tightly packed and filled with people who are in a hurry. This makes car accidents common. The chances of an accident are even higher at night, particularly if the airport hasn’t properly replaced overhead lighting.

    The airport shuttles represent another danger in the parking lot. Drivers who have been working all day may be overtired or not paying close attention to their surroundings. Also, most shuttles have stairs in them. If those stairs are wet or if the shuttle hasn’t come to a complete stop, you could be injured in a fall.

    Restaurants and Food Courts

    Just like restaurants outside an airport, airport restaurants are required to follow safe food preparation and storage rules. But with extremely limited space available to airport restaurants, sometimes employees cut corners that might not be cut outside an airport. This can result in food poisoning.

    Additionally, because travelers are often in a hurry, spilled food is relatively common in airport food courts and restaurants. Airport personnel are supposed to clean those spills promptly and set out warning signs until the spill has been completely cleaned. When that doesn’t happen, you could slip and hurt yourself in a fall.

    Moving Walkways and Escalators

    Moving walkways and escalators are reasonably safe when they work properly and are marked with good signage. When this isn’t the case, they can be some of the most dangerous locations in an airport. 

    The biggest threat is when a moving walkway or escalator suddenly stops without any warning. This will usually throw you forward and may cause serious injuries, depending on where you are standing when the contraption stops.

    Luggage Conveyor Belts

    Luggage conveyor belts present an unexpected danger for travelers. Many people think that the conveyor belt could cause injury to their hands, but that is extremely rare. The bigger danger is that heavy luggage falls off a conveyor belt and knocks someone over. 

    This can happen when dangerous luggage is placed on the conveyor belt or when too much luggage is placed close together on the conveyor belt. These are all things that can happen when an airport employee is careless.

    When You Need the Best Airport Accident Lawyers in DeLand, FL

    If you have been injured at an airport due to negligence, you need the help of a top-quality airport accident lawyer. Without the assistance of an attorney, you could find yourself being denied compensation by insurance companies and airport lawyers that understand the law better than you do. 

    Numerous complications make it difficult to get fair compensation for your injuries when you have been injured at an airport.

    Fault Is Often Unclear

    The first problem you will run into is that fault is often unclear in an accident at an airport. For example, imagine you were injured when you slipped on a wet floor while leaving an airport store. Is the store responsible for your injury, or is the airport responsible for your injury? 

    Either is possible depending on the exact circumstances, and both parties will likely try to blame the other.

    By carefully examining the evidence, your attorney will be able to determine fault in your case. That will prevent the liable party from trying to shift blame and get out of paying for your injuries. 

    Even when both parties are at fault, your attorney will fight vigorously to ensure that both parties pay what they owe and that you are fully compensated for your injury.

    Government Entities Are Difficult to Sue

    Comparatively, government entities have limited liability. But limited liability doesn’t mean that airports are immune to liability claims. And if airport personnel have been negligent in a way that injures you, you are eligible for relief from the courts.

    Because getting relief from a government entity is more difficult, you need the best airport accident lawyers in DeLand. Experienced attorneys understand what civil measures the law allows and will get you every dollar they can. Without an experienced attorney, you could be unexpectedly stymied by a variety of regulations.

    Insurance Companies Don’t Want to Pay

    Florida has some of the most business-friendly laws in the country. These laws are also friendly to insurance companies. As a result, insurance companies will often attempt to deny your claim, pay you less than you deserve, or drag out your claims process until you give up on it. 

    Hiring the best airport accident lawyers in DeLand will help mitigate these tactics. Your attorney will present the insurance company with irrefutable evidence of fault. This can be used to wrest a fair settlement offer from the insurance company. It can also be used in a courtroom if the insurance company refuses to make a fair offer.
