Slip & Fall in Terminals
Spilled drinks, wet floors from cleaning, rainwater tracked through entrances, or poor lighting often lead to dangerous slip and fall accidents inside busy airport terminals.
Shuttle & Ground Transport Accidents
Airports often use shuttles, trams, and buses to transport passengers. Poorly trained drivers or mechanical failures can lead to crashes and injuries.
Security Checkpoint Injuries
Crowded TSA lines, mishandled equipment, or inadequate staffing can cause trip hazards, crush injuries, or medical issues from prolonged standing.
Jet Bridge & Boarding Accidents
Malfunctioning or slippery jet bridges can collapse or cause passengers to trip and fall while boarding or deplaning, resulting in serious injuries.
Escalator & Elevator Accidents
Faulty escalators or elevators inside airports can cause falls, entrapments, or sudden stops that leave passengers hurt.
Tarmac & Runway Accident
Passengers and airport workers are vulnerable on the tarmac, where moving vehicles, fuel trucks, and poor safety oversight can cause devastating injuries.
Baggage Claim Injuries
Heavy suitcases falling from carousels, conveyor belt malfunctions, or overcrowded baggage areas put travelers at risk of harm.
Falling Objects & Overhead Hazards
Loose ceiling tiles, unsecured construction materials, or items falling from overhead compartments in gate areas can strike passengers without warning.
Food Court & Retail Area Accidents
Slippery floors, broken chairs, or poorly maintained dining areas often result in spills, burns, or falls inside airport restaurants and shops.
What Our Clients Says
Frequent Ask Questions
What counts as an airport accident?
An airport accident includes any injury that occurs in or around airport property, such as slips and falls in terminals, jet bridge malfunctions, baggage claim accidents, shuttle crashes, or escalator failures.
Who can be held responsible for my accident at the airport?
Liability may fall on airport authorities, airlines, maintenance contractors, cleaning companies, or even third-party vendors depending on where and how the accident occurred.
What should I do immediately after being injured in an airport?
Seek medical attention first. Then report the accident to airport staff, document the scene with photos, and collect witness information if possible. Contact a lawyer as soon as you can.
Do I need a lawyer for an airport accident claim?
Yes. Airports and airlines have teams of attorneys working to limit payouts. A lawyer ensures your rights are protected and builds a strong case for fair compensation.
Can I sue an airline for injuries that happened during boarding or deplaning?
Yes. If your injury was caused by unsafe boarding procedures, a faulty jet bridge, or airline negligence, the airline may be held legally responsible.
What damages can I recover in an airport accident case?
You may be able to recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, and in some cases, future loss of earnings.
How long do I have to file an airport accident claim?
Deadlines vary by state, but generally you have a limited time (often 1–4 years) to file a personal injury claim. Waiting too long can bar your right to compensation.
What if the airport says the accident was my fault?
Airports often try to shift blame to passengers. Even if you are partially at fault, you may still be entitled to compensation under comparative negligence laws.
How much does it cost to hire an airport accident lawyer?
Most airport accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. They only get paid if you win your case.
