What are the common causes of airport accidents in New Jersey?
There are several different types of airport accidents in New Jersey. Because there are so many amenities involved in an airport, such as lounges, restaurants, bars, stores, and more, it is critical that there are diligent staff members available to ensure that no one is at risk of injury. However, accidents can still happen, which is why you will need an experienced personal injury attorney on your side if you have been injured in an airport. The most common types of airport accidents our firm has seen include:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Broken sidewalks
- Defective escalators or elevators
- Negligent security
- Poor lighting
- Construction work accidents
- Hotel accidents
- Restaurant accidents
- Dangerous sidewalks and parking garages
What steps should I take if I have been injured in an airport?
If you were injured in an airport due to another’s negligence, you may have a valid premises liability claim. If possible, it is essential that you take the following steps immediately after your airport injury. These steps include:
- Call the authorities. The police will send an ambulance to the scene and file a police report.
- Take photos and videos of the unsafe conditions that caused your accident.
- Collect contact information from any witness to the accident. These witnesses may be able to verify your version of the events.
- Seek medical treatment to ensure your injuries are properly treated. Ask your doctor to provide you with medical documentation pointing to the origin and severity of your injuries.
- Contact a skilled personal injury attorney that can help you navigate through the claims process and assist you in recovering further proof of negligence.
How long do I have to file my personal injury claim in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, there is a two-year statute of limitations imposed for most personal injury claims. This means that if you fail to file your airport accident claim within two years from the date of your injury, you risk losing the opportunity to recover the compensation that you deserve.
