DELAND AIRPORT ACCIDENT LAWYERS

Except for injuries that happen during a plane crash, most airport injuries aren’t fatal. With that being said, if a loved one dies at an airport due to negligence on the part of airport personnel, you can file a wrongful death lawsuit. 

Just because you weren’t injured doesn’t mean you aren’t eligible for compensation. A Morgan and Morgan airport accident attorney can tell you your rights during your free initial evaluation.

If you are injured on an airplane, usually the airline is responsible. In rare cases, though, the airport will be responsible for that injury. Your Morgan and Morgan personal injury lawyer can determine which party is most at fault by looking at the details of your case.
 

If you have received a settlement offer before you have had a chance to speak to a lawyer, you should rarely accept the offer. 

Insurance companies will often make a fast lowball offer before you fully know how badly you have been injured. By accepting this offer, you make it much more difficult to get additional money if your injuries prove to be worse than you believed.

The biggest mistake people make after being injured at an airport is not contacting a lawyer immediately. Airports and insurance companies have armies of lawyers working around the clock to protect their interests. 

They will be interviewing witnesses, scouring police reports, and looking through your medical records before you even have a chance to see a doctor. By the time you think to speak with a lawyer, you could already have essentially lost your case.

Even if you don’t have medical insurance, you should be evaluated and treated by a doctor after suffering an injury at an airport. If you are lucky, medical attention is unnecessary. If you aren’t lucky, you might have a serious injury that requires both immediate and long-term care.

Besides protecting your health, seeking medical attention also protects your ability to get compensation for your injury. The medical evaluation of the doctor that treats you is proof that you were injured. Without that proof, you might not be able to get compensation for the injury.

If you are injured at an airport, a lot of things will likely happen very quickly. Emergency workers are continually present at almost every airport in the country. Most likely, medical personnel will attempt to treat you within minutes of your accident, and a police officer will likely arrive to create an accident report.

While it is a good idea to let the medical staff treat you, you should avoid giving any statements while they do so. Answer any questions regarding how you feel, but try not to speak about how you were injured until you have a lawyer present. 

Similarly, you can tell a police officer that you don’t want to answer any questions without your lawyer present.

Just as importantly, don’t sign anything. Airport personnel might try to get you to sign a waiver of liability on the spot or sign a document dictating what happened. If anyone tries to get you to sign something, just direct them to speak with your attorney.

In the vast majority of personal injury cases, claimants never step foot in a courtroom. Usually, insurance companies will offer a settlement before a lawsuit is even filed. And even if a lawsuit is filed, most insurance companies will settle before the trial begins.

In the rare case where an insurance company refuses to settle, you will probably have to testify in court. Your lawyer will work hard to avoid that.
