LAX Airport Slip And Fall Or Trip And Fall Accident Injury

Millions of passengers fly in and out of the airports in California each year, with many on international flights to and from LAX. While flying was an elite means of travel for past generations, today’s generation looks at air travel as something as common as a fast-food drive-through or ordering a rideshare to get them to their destination. While the price of flying has dropped significantly, the volume of travelers has literally skyrocketed. That means airports like LAX are massive, with millions of square feet of terminal space and roughly 3,900 acres of property. This enormous footprint is great when you are among the thousands trying to catch a flight on a given day, but maintaining that large space can be a significant challenge.

What To Do After A Slip And Fall Or Trip And Fall At LAX
After suffering any injury that could be caused by negligence, it is vital that you document the scene as much as possible. This process can include pictures of the area where you fell, the cause of the fall, and gathering the names and contact information of witnesses. You should also contact the property owner or manager to report the incident. Of course, in the event of severe harm, emergency medical care should be the priority. Ideally, a companion or family member can assist you in the documentation if you are receiving emergency medical treatment before transport is provided to a local medical facility.

Common Causes Of LAX Airport Slip And Fall Or Trip And Fall Incidents
Sadly, the issues that cause many severe trip and fall or slip and fall injuries are minor problems that could have and should have been easily eliminated or corrected. Guests to LAX are moving through the terminal toward their gate, awaiting a flight, often carrying bags and personal items as they walk at a swift pace. For all these reasons, as well as the legal obligation, the owners and management team at the facilities should focus on keeping the space in good condition. However, they often fail, and these hazards result in many guests slipping and falling or tripping and falling injuries:

• Wet floors due to spilled water or drinks, leaking pipes, hoses, or water lines, malfunctioning or damaged plumbing fixtures, or floors that were recently mopped and are still damp, but have no warning or caution signage warning patrons of the increased hazard
• Damaged or uneven flooring surfaces, parking lot or sidewalk pavement, or loose or damaged carpets
• Steps, ramps, or changes in elevation that are poorly marked or unmarked
• Unmarked or poorly marked changes or transitions in the flooring or pavement surface
• Missing or damaged safety handrails on steps or ramps
• Liter or debris left in walking areas, hallways, or on steps
• Packages or inventory items that are left in walkways that should have been placed in proper storage areas
• Folded, damaged, missing, or saturated floor mats at entryways or exterior doors

What Is The Legal Obligation Of LAX Staff And Contractors?
It is vital for everyone to understand that premises liability applies to all public and private spaces. These laws and guidelines were created to ensure the safety of the general public when they are in spaces they do not own or maintain. This section of the legal system focuses on everything from safe construction and building practices to the maintenance, inspections, and the care of safety hazards when they are discovered.

The obligation of a property owner or their staff when a safety concern is found or reported to them is very simple. They must respond with at least the same level of care as would be provided by the average prudent person facing the same hazard or issue. If they fail to take the appropriate action in a reasonable amount of time, they are deemed negligent in their duty of care. Furthermore, if it is later determined that the negligence caused or contributed to the harm of a patron, the property owner can be held liable. If you feel LAX staff negligence led to the injuries you suffered as a result of a slip and fall or trip and fall, please reach out to Kenmore Law Group today. Please also know that if you suffered an injury incident at LAX, there could be many liable parties, which will have a massive impact on the time to pursue legal action.

How Long Do I Have To File My LAX Trip and Fall Or Slip And Fall Personal Injury Lawsuit?
Most people think that on their initial call to a legal professional, they will get all the information they need to make significant choices that will impact their future. But the legal system is quite complex, and you will need to attend your free consultation with a personal injury attorney at Kenmore Law Group to learn all the essential and case-specific information to make wise and well-informed decisions, such as the time limit to file your lawsuit.

In cases involving a personal injury at LAX, you should know that the owner of the property and the defendant named in your case is typically the airport authority. This is a government entity that is vital to understanding the time limit to file a lawsuit. In California, the average personal injury lawsuit Statute of Limitations, or time limit to file the case with the court, is two years from the date of the incident. However, when the defendant is a government entity or agency, such as the airport authority, that time limit is dropped to only six months from the date of the incident.

It is also worth noting that if the incident was due to the negligence of a contractor or subcontractor working at LAX, such as a cleaning crew or construction company, you could be filing your lawsuit against that business entity. If that is the case, you will have the entire two-year time period beginning on the date of the injury incident to file your lawsuit with the court. Please get in touch with Kenmore Law Group today to discuss your case and determine the precise amount of time remaining for you to take legal action and secure any compensation owed to you.

How Much Is My LAX Airport Slip and Fall Or Trip And Fall Lawsuit Worth?
As a personal injury victim, you need to keep in mind that each lawsuit is independently evaluated, and the amount of compensation is determined based on the actual losses and expenses of the victim. The court never awards pre-determined compensation amounts. Working with your Kenmore Law Group legal team, you will gather all the documentation to verify your allowable expenses used in this process. The items that are most commonly part of the process include, but are not strictly limited to:

• The cost of all legal services and expenses related to preparing, filing, and litigating your LAX Airport personal injury lawsuit
