Philadelphia Airport Premises Liability Law Firm
Airports can be some of the busiest, hectic and most crowded places people visit. People move about searching for terminals, locating baggage, and running to catch their plane. Airport workers are also busy loading and unloading luggage, moving jet bridges, and performing security checks. With all this hustle and bustle, it is easy to see that accidents and injuries can occur at airports. Fatigue on the part of passengers and airport workers may cause people to make careless errors that result in serious and devastating injuries.
Slippery floors and spills of liquids can be hazardous to people hurrying through an airport, likely carrying heavy bags. Escalators and moving sidewalks can be dangerous, especially to children, if strings or shoelaces get caught in the moving parts. People could also get caught or stuck in baggage carousels, sustaining serious lacerations or crush injuries. Other injuries have occurred due to individuals being dropped from wheelchairs, being ejected from transport carts, being struck by shuttle buses, and even being accosted aggressively by airport security. Airport crew workers face potentially harmful conditions when they are working on the tarmac, and injuries may arise due to fueling accidents, construction accidents, or being struck by baggage carts and people movers.
If you or someone you love has been catastrophically injured or wrongfully killed in an airport, you may be able to file a claim for negligence or premises liability.
