Lawyer For SAN Airport Slip And Fall Or Trip And Fall Injury Lawsuit

Located just three miles from downtown San Diego, the San Diego International Airport, or SAN, is considered a small facility. It covers only 663 square acres, which is a fraction of the size of many other international airports in the state. However, it is the busiest single-runway airport in the United States, and the HUB for Alaska Airlines. Covering only a little more than a square mile, the airport’s landing pattern takes planes very close to some of the large buildings in the downtown area, making it quite a challenge for some pilots, especially on days when there are significant winds due to the short usable landing area and constantly shifting wind currents near the coast. Despite all these challenges, in 2024, SAN set a new record for passengers using the airport with 25.24 million passing over that one runway in a single year.

If you live in or are visiting Southern California, it is common to fly into or out of SAN. The traffic in the airport is increasing due to more international options departing the facility and headed to London, Tokyo, and Amsterdam. With only a single runway, there is a constant line of jets waiting to take off or in the holding pattern waiting to land. This hectic airspace means there is also always a throng of passengers in the terminals waiting to depart or who have just arrived. The total area of the two terminals is just over 1.5 million square feet, with the new terminal 1 renovation and addition recently being completed. But the demand for more space continues. There are already plans for further growth to accommodate the record setting passenger traffic in the facility. But for the foreseeable future, the terminals will remain crowded and challenging for pedestrian traffic.

What that means for travelers using SAN is that it will take some time to traverse the terminals, even though there are only two. In addition, guests should use added caution to ensure they do not find themselves to be among the next group of casualties to suffer a SAN Airport slip and fall or trip and fall because of the mass of passengers, lack of care of the facility, and the staff’s inability to always maintain the space in a safe and hazard-free condition.

Common Slip And Fall Or Trip And Fall Safety Hazards Found At SAN

What is most upsetting for SAN injury victims and their loved ones is that most of the incidents that result in harm to passengers at this facility are related to simple and easily avoidable issues. Instead of massive accidents or issues with a piece of equipment like a baggage carousel or a trailer carrying baggage, the harm to guests is often because of a mundane issue like spilled liquids or a leaking water line. As you walk from the entrance to the ticket counter, through security, and on to your gate at SAN, please remain focused on your surroundings to avoid injuries from these known safe concerns that can arise:

• Water or other liquids on the floor, but not swiftly cleaned up
• Floors that were recently mopped by do not have safety warning signs
• Litter or debris left on the floor or falling from overly full trashcans
• Loose or damaged flooring surfaces, such as torn carpet, loose tile, or cracked wood or laminate
• Unmarked or poorly marked elevation changes, like steps or ramps
• Poorly marked or unmarked transitions from one flooring surface to another
• Missing or damaged safety handrails
• Electrical cords or hoses left in walkways

The Obligation Of Airport Staff

According to premises liability law, all public and private property owners have a legal obligation to provide a safe and hazard-free space for guests. This includes the property owners of SAN, who employ a huge staff to provide care for the space. Under duty of care requirements, the staff must inspect the space routinely for hazards and act to repair them as well as address any issues reported by guests.

Legally, they must deliver at least the same level of care that would be provided by the average prudent person facing a similar issue. And the care must be provided in a reasonable time. For example, swiftly mopping up water leaking from a damaged water line or drain pipe. If the staff fails to act in the appropriate fashion, they are deemed negligent in their duty of care. Furthermore, when that negligence is later found to have caused or contributed to the harm of a guest, the property owner can be held liable for the losses and expenses incurred by the owner of SAN.

Common Slip And Fall Or Trip And Fall Injuries Suffered By SAN

Most people think of only minor injuries when they consider the harm caused by a slip and fall at SAN. However, it is also unfortunately common for victims to suffer much more severe harm in these incidents because of multiple impacts when they fall and the possibly sharp or hazardous items near them. In the worst cases, the slip and fall or trip and fall victims sustain one or more of these severe injuries:

• Back, neck, and spinal cord damage
• Broken or shattered bones
• Severe lacerations or puncture wounds
• Damage to internal organs or internal bleeding
• Dislocated joints and the destruction of the soft connective tissue of the joints
• Partial or complete amputations
• Facial injuries to the skin, eyes, ears, nose, or mouth
• Head injuries that can include a skull fracture, severe concussion, brain bleed, or other traumatic brain injuries

How Much Is My SAN Airport Slip And Fall Or Trip And Fall Injury Lawsuit Worth?

After suffering injuries at SAN and facing bills for medical care and other costs, you are sure to have questions about how the compensation you receive will be determined and the process to receive it. Unfortunately, even the skilled team at Kenmore Law Group cannot provide you with an amount for your compensation immediately. There is a great deal to be considered before that amount is known. However, you will work with your Kenmore Law Group legal team to gather all the documentation to confirm your actual expenses that were created by the injuries you suffered at SAN. These allowable expenses will then be tabulated to determine the compensation you could be awarded by the court. Items most often used in this process include, but are not always strictly limited to:

• The cost to repair or replace any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the incident at SAN
• Your legal fees and expenses related to preparing, filing, and litigating your SAN personal injury lawsuit
• The cost of all current or projected medical expenses related to the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of your SAN injuries, as well as any therapy or counseling to address the stress and trauma of the incident and injuries
• Your lost income if the harm you sustain prevents you from working at your regular job until you are fully recovered and cleared by your medical care providers to return to the duties of that work

How Long Do I Have To File My SAN Slip And Fall Or Trip And Fall Lawsuit?

As the victim of a personal injury like a trip and fall or slip and fall, you would typically have two years from the date of the injury incident to file your lawsuit with the court. This time limit is standard and is strictly enforced. Once it has expired, you no longer have the right to pursue legal action related to that injury incident. However, in California, there is an exception to this time limit. When the liable party is a government entity or agency, such as the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, the time limit decreases to only six months from the date of the injury incident to file a claim with the court. Pease make time today to reach out to Kenmore Law Group and discuss your case and the time remaining for you to take legal action before it is too late.
