Were Injured at the airport for a slip and fall accident?
Airports in the New York City area are full of hazards that can cause a slip-and-fall accident. These accidents can lead to serious injuries, including brain trauma, spinal cord damage, and broken bones. The law allows slip-and-fall accident victims to recover compensation for injuries caused by negligence, but first you have to be able to prove who’s liable for your injuries. And that can be difficult when it comes to airport slip-and-fall accidents.
If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall at JFK, LaGuardia, or another airport, contact David Resnick & Associates, P.C. today. David Resnick and his team have more than 20 years of experience handling personal injury cases. We can help you determine who’s responsible for an airport slip-and-fall accident. Contact our New York City personal injury lawyer for a free initial consultation.
Causes of Airport Slips and Falls
Some of the common hazards that can cause a slip and fall at an airport include:
- Slippery floors – Spilled liquids in bathrooms, near restaurants, and in other areas of an airport can cause a slip and fall. Floors that are slick from being recently polished or waxed are also common culprits of these accidents.
- Poor lighting – Poor lighting in areas undergoing construction, in parking garages, and other locations around an airport can make it difficult for people to see slippery surfaces, navigate staircases and other hazards, and create other hazards that can cause a slip and fall.
- Uneven flooring surfaces – Uneven sidewalks, broken pavement, loose carpeting, and other uneven floor surfaces can cause someone to lose their foot and trip or slip at an airport.
- Lack of handrails – Handrails are essential pieces of safety equipment, especially for people with physical disabilities. However, they’re often neglected in airports, especially in work areas. Without handrails, it’s easy for people to fall on walkways, staircases, or sloping floors.
- Inadequate maintenance – Poorly maintained sidewalks, floors, and other airport structures can lead to slippery or uneven surfaces that can cause a slip and fall.
Possible Liable Parties For Airport Injuries
A few different parties could potentially be held liable for a New York City airport slip-and-fall accident. These parties include:
- Vendors – Vendors in fixed locations at an airport are responsible for maintaining the premises in their immediate vicinity. If a hazard near a vendor causes a slip-and-fall accident due to the vendor’s negligence, the vendor can be held liable.
- Airport authority – Areas of airports that are not monitored by private vendors are overseen by the governing airport authority. In the case of JFK International and LaGuardia slip and fall accidents, that agency is the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. There are special rules when it comes to suing government agencies for negligence, so be sure to get help from an experienced NYC slip and fall attorney if you’re planning on suing the Port Authority.
- Negligent individuals – Private individuals can sometimes be held responsible for injuries when their negligence caused the accident. For example, if someone spilled a drink that you slipped on, that could be considered negligence, in which case the other person may be held liable for your injuries.
