Injuries at Airports
Just like other property owners, airport management can be held responsible for injuries that occur on their premises. A busy airport has all the dangers of a large mall or shopping center, with some unique additional risks. Huge numbers of people move between the terminals, some on foot and some by vehicle. Escalators and elevators often connect multiple floors to another. Heavy loads of luggage move from check-in to security to baggage carousels. Accidents can and do occur in the midst of this fast-paced action.
At the Law Offices of Donald Guthrie, P.A., we believe that premises owners, including airport management, are responsible for the safety of their clients and guests. If you believe that your airport injury is the result of negligent premises ownership, you can fight back.

Types of Accidents at Airports
You have a lot to worry about when you arrive to catch a plane. There are boarding passes to print, luggage to check, and security gates to handle. Unfortunately, accidents can strike anywhere in an airport, from the parking lots to the terminals themselves. For instance, airports usually have slick tile floors that can cause slips and falls. Some accidents that may occur in airports include:
- Slips and falls
- Concussions
- Broken bones
- Strains and sprains
An injury in an airport can put a damper on your travel plans. If the airport allowed unsafe conditions to go unchecked, such as failing to post a caution sign next to a wet floor, the management may be responsible for your injury. You may be able to receive financial compensation for your injury.
