What Should I Do After Getting Hurt at the Airport?
After getting hurt at the airport, you can take immediate action to help strengthen a potential personal injury claim and protect your legal rights, such as:
Getting medical help – Whether you feel fine after a serious fall or have a significant injury, your first step should be to seek medical help as soon as possible. A doctor can ensure that you do not suffer from any conditions with hidden or delayed symptoms, such as a traumatic brain injury or internal bleeding, for example. A physician’s report can also be excellent evidence for a compensation claim.
Filing an accident report – Filing an airport accident report can be crucial as this will document the accident and your injuries formally.
Collecting evidence – Gathering photographs, witnesses contact details, and other relevant evidence of your accident can be vital for recovering what you deserve. Ensure to keep receipts for all of your expenses, as receipts and statements will be excellent evidence of your damages.
Contacting an airport accident lawyer – Suing an airport, or even just determining whether you have a case, can be challenging. If you suffered a slip and fall or other serious accident with injuries, a lawyer can walk you through your legal options and help you move forward with a legal claim.
Can I Sue the Airport for Damages?
Generally, all property owners in Florida must make their premises safe for visitors. An airports’ public areas are usually the airport management’s responsibility. Therefore, you could sue if you were hurt in an airport accident and can provide evidence of the airport’s liability, for example, due to negligence or oversight of management or employees.
Evidence and Proof of Liability
To be successful at recovering damages from an airport or airline, a victim will have to prove liability and their damages with the relevant evidence, which can include:
- Photos and airport surveillance video footage
- Airport accident report
- Medical bills
- Proof of lost wages and benefits
In many cases, victims will also have to prove “foreseeability”. In other words, airport management or employees should have known of the danger. However, despite knowing of the hazard to visitors, they:
- Failed to take action to remove the threat or warn of it
- Failed to protect individuals from harm
Examples of an Airport’s Legal Liability
Slip and Fall – If a spill was left on the floor of the airport food court for hours, causing a serious fall to an airport visitor, the airport could be responsible for the victim’s damages. In this case, the airport was negligent as there was ample time for employees to clean up the spill or warn visitors with a sign.
Malfunctioning Equipment Injury – The airport is required to fix malfunctioning equipment such as defective elevators or luggage conveyors. If a passenger gets hurt due to any faulty equipment at the airport that was not fixed in a timely manner, they could have grounds to sue for damages.
When Should I File My Orlando Airport Accident Case?
According to Florida Statute § 95.11(3)(a), you can generally file a personal injury lawsuit for up to four years after the injury and accident occurred. However, since you may be filing a suit against a government entity, you should consult with an attorney as soon as possible after your injury, as shorter timelines could apply.
What Is a No-Win-No-Fee Agreement?
Morgan & Morgan works with a “no-win-no-fee” guarantee, which means we won’t charge you a dime upfront. We only get paid when you get paid, allowing you to benefit from our lawyers’ experience without having to worry about taking any financial risks. Some other firms, while also stating that they work on a “no-win-no-fee” basis, will charge their clients the legal expenses upfront, which could be considerable. Therefore, when looking for an Orlando airport accident lawyer, make sure to ask about any fees you might have to pay upfront.
