Airport Parking Lot Accident Attorneys

Airports are one of those places that can be constantly busy. Whether you are driving yourself to the airport or driving to drop/pick someone up at the airport, it is likely that you have to enter the parking lot. Most of us do not think that we will encounter any dangers in parking lots at airports. After all, we just have to walk through them whether we are going from or to our vehicles.

Unfortunately, parking lot safety is often disregarded by the owners and operators of airports. Because of this, unsuspecting guests can suffer incidents that could ultimately lead to injuries. If you or a loved one was injured in an incident in an airport parking lot, it is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible. Based on the details surrounding the incident and the harm that you suffered, you could have the right to file a claim and even to recover compensation.

Parking Lot Incidents

Many people believe that parking lot incidents can only be incidents that occur due to driver error – crashing into a parked car, hitting a pedestrian, etc. However, parking lot incidents are much more than that. There are many different incidents that can occur in airport parking lots. Some of the following incidents could occur:

• Trip and fall accidents
• Slip and fall accidents
• Assault and battery incidents

Below, we will discuss each of these incidents and the risks that can contribute to these incidents.

Trip and fall accidents: these types of accidents are easily some of the most common accidents that can occur in parking lots. Trip hazards include exposed rebar, broken concrete barriers, potholes, uneven flooring, potholes, broken concrete, blocked walkways, etc. Any trip hazard present throughout the floor of a parking lot could quickly result in a trip and fall accident and lead to many injuries.

Slip and fall accidents: these types of accidents are also very common and can occur whenever there is a slip hazard present. Some slip hazards can include slippery surfaces, wet floors, oil spills, other liquid spills, debris littering floors, etc. These slip hazards can quickly result in a slip and fall accident and significant injuries.

Assault and battery incidents: these incidents can be directly associated with the intentional actions of another party but can also be associated with the failure to keep a premises safe. For instance, a lack of security guards, a lack of surveillance cameras, poorly lit areas, isolated areas, etc. can all contribute to assault and battery incidents and resulting injuries.

If you were the victim of any of these incidents or any other incident at an airport parking lot and sustained injuries, it is important that you explore the legal options available to you. You could have the right to file an injury claim for the harm that you or a loved one suffered.

Airport Parking Lot Injuries

As mentioned above, there are many different incidents that unsuspecting parties could suffer at airport parking lots. These incidents can lead to a number of injuries, which can include the following:

• Head injuries and traumatic brain injuries

• Spinal cord injuries
• Fractures (these can be simple fractures or complex fractures)

Although these injuries might only seem minor listed above, they can all lead to significant harm. In fact, some incidents can cause injuries that can be permanent and/or disabling. No matter the specific type of injuries that you or a loved one suffered in an airport parking lot incident, it is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible to better understand your rights and the legal options available to you.

Can I Sue after an Airport Parking Lot Accident?

Yes – you could sue if you or a loved one suffered an accident at an airport parking lot. This is based on the concept of premise liability, in which all property owners have a duty to keep their entire premises safe for all guests. What does this mean? When a property owner simply fails to keep their premises safe and actually contributes to an incident that harms unsuspecting guests, then the property owner could be liable.

So, who is liable? The answer to this question is based on the facts. First, we must determine who owns and operates the airport. In general, airports are operated by the city in which they are located. For example, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is owned and operated by the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) department, which is a department of the City of Los Angeles. LAWA owns and operates both airports and their parking lots. Therefore, if you or a loved one was injured in an LAX parking lot, then you could sue the city.

Can I Receive Compensation?

Yes – you could be eligible to receive compensation for the harm that you or a loved one suffered in an airport parking lot incident. Some of the different categories of compensation that you could be awarded could include

• Medical costs
• Lost income
• Pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Punitive damages

How Long Do I Have to Sue for an Airport Parking Lot Incident?

All claims are subject to a statute of limitations or a deadline to sue. If you do not file your claim on time, you could lose your right to sue entirely. If the airport parking lot is owned and operated by a city department, you will have to file a government claim, which are subject to a six-month deadline. You must file directly with the city entity within six months. If your claim is denied, then you have another six months to file a civil lawsuit. If you do not get any response within a 45-day period, your claim is considered denied, and you will have two years to file a civil lawsuit. We understand that these timelines can be confusing, so we recommend that you seek legal assistance immediately to ensure that your claim is filed on time.

What if the airport parking lot is owned and operated by a private party? In this case, then your injury claim will be subject to a two-year statute of limitations, meaning that you will have two years to sue.
