About Los Angeles World Airports And Airport Injuries

LAWA runs Los Angeles, CA International Airport and Van Nuys Airport.

• According to the Los Angeles Times, it had the heaviest passenger traffic of any US airport in 2021. In 2017, over 84 million airline guests (equates with 231,000 persons daily) passed through its vast terminals.
• In addition, Los Angeles International Airport travelers and employees are injured on a daily basis as pedestrians and motor vehicles weave in and out of their paths.
• According to the CBS Los Angeles News article entitled
• “LAX Airport Busy With Accidents,” up to six hundred mishaps happen per day at the airport.

Accident Injuries We Help Victims With

The following are the most common ways people get injured or suffer a wrongful death at the airport:

Like any careless act, distractions and heavy crowds multiply the chances of hurting yourself or another person. The grounds are like one big sardine can of humans.

Many potential parties may be liable, including:

• The City of Los Angeles
• Private and public chartered airlines, negligent pilots and crews
• Defective equipment manufacturers or a manufacturer failing to warn end users of dangers and design defects
• Private and public equipment maintenance crews
• Cafes, duty-free shops, coffee shops (Starbucks?), alcohol bars, and restaurants
• A shuttle bus driver, municipal bus, and charter bus companies, including FlyAway, Go Fly, Prime, SuperShuttle, Roadrunner, Karmel Shuttle, A1, and DASH.
• Passenger car drivers and motorcyclists
• Taxi services, including Uber/Lyft, Uber Black, Uber Eats, “airporters,” etc.
• Delivery long haul and local delivery vehicle companies like UPS, FedEx, DHL, their employee driver professionals, and even the business.
• Private security guards, LAPD Airport Police, and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers and agents.

• It remains located in one of the most densely populated areas of Los Angeles, and flights often come into such close contact that it’s not uncommon for planes to collide in on-ground aviation incidents.
• Instead of relying exclusively on taxis, buses, car rental shuttles, and ridesharing, there are no ground transport hubs.
• Politicians force people to walk or travel with heavy, unwieldy luggage and catch a crowded shuttle to a far away parking to hail a cab.
• Shuttle buses often remain at full capacity or can’t get to riders due to traffic jams caused by other vehicles, including cars and trucks. Our car accident attorneys are in high demand for these traffic accidents.
• Its busy terminals remain hubs to the region’s rail system and a centralized rental car facility.
• According to an LA Times article from 2012, six personal injury suits were filed on behalf of accident victims who refused to settle out of court in November 2011 alone.
• Pacemaker deaths at metal detectors and shuttle bus waiting areas happen regularly.
• Airplane crashes and helicopter accidents occur, but a plane crash is more common here than in other Southern California airports.

Advance All Case Costs

In pursuit of justice, we offer clients financial peace by advancing the enormous costs to service their lawsuits along the way.

Many folks get injured due to defective and dangerous conditions caused by airlines, transportation authorities, contractors, and others.

These numbers don’t represent all accident cases. Simply put, many people don’t want their name associated with suing or cannot afford legal fees (Sometimes five-digit numbers in settlements or verdicts).

Information, evidence, and anything else we discover during our consultation and investigation may cause us to sue other defendants for your aviation accident case. This can be extra money in order to cover your type of loss. For example, the defendant may be a government agency, shipping company, or negligent products manufacturer concealing defects.

We’ll answer client questions during our representation and instruct over their options once we review the regulations and damages value on or off their flight. No surprise will befall you.

Our best lawyer team will act on your behalf to sue within the statute of limitations or government claims filing deadline. The best-case outcome in your best interest lies in calling a terrific lawyer right away.

Enter “LAX-it” – Taxi Cab Stands Ended

Many Angelenos remember when we could deboard, grab our luggage, walk outside and hail a cab. As a pretext, local politicians abolished taxi stands to maintain professional driver demeanor and customer service skills.

These changes are not only unsafe for elderly citizens, disabled adults, and children, they also create more traffic congestion on the ground transportation area. Now, passengers must drag heavy luggage to a main vehicle staging area near the American Airlines terminal until 2023.

Here is what the Los Angeles airport says:

“… undergoing a major transformation as we build a people mover train . . . new parking structure and upgrade … creating better guest experiences and easier access into, out of and around the airport. During construction, lanes in the central terminal area will be reduced, . . . temporarily move taxi and ride app pickups to LAX-it until the people mover is completed in 2023.” (Source: https://www.flylax.com/lax-it).

The airport has increased airport shuttle bus traffic for pickup, refusing to work with other ground transport partners like hotels, Uber, or Lyft. The United States taxi app service is slated for 2023!.

With convenient taxi stands eliminated, we see far more foot traffic, with circumstances increasing the risks of many types of harm. Senior citizens over age 65 risk suffering a broken hip or concussion after a fall. This was done during COVID, increasing close quarters contact and human crowding. The goal of our legal counsel is to get you money.

Here are some common causes and reasons for negligence and wrongful death actions:

Crowd Density

Even with tourists exercising due care, the cramped space, or a dangerous condition inside the property, accidents occur daily. Often these negligent actions are related to crowded indoor, outdoor spaces and difficult baggage handling areas.

Slick, Slippery Floor Surfaces

Most airport invitees are family rushing to their destinations, spilling liquids like coffee from faucets in lavatories, spreading into walkways, creating dangerous airport slip and fall conditions.

Yes, management often fails to take countermeasures against slips and known scenarios since they won’t guarantee safety. The result may be broken bones, and traumatic brain injuries, or an unwanted negligence case.

Police reports show that fault rarely lies with clients. The airport owes you a duty of care to keep its floor mopped and keeping the dangerous environment roped off. If not, and you’re hurt, the result is they have breached their duty to avoid a loss to you.

For this reason, our law office can sue two or more at-fault parties with the ability to pay damages under California law for these things. Our local lawyers can explain all information and issues regarding your rights with a free case review at no charge.

Defective Parts, Broken, and Malfunctioning Equipment

Aviation accidents involving helicopter crashes, plane crashes, or other aircraft include a small share of severe injuries.

Fault laws place negligence liability against those who

cause airport injuries and deaths on manufacturers, maintainers, and controllers of:

• People movers (you might slip or trip or fall)
• Moving walkways (aka human conveyor belts)
• Escalators
• Elevators
• Luggage conveyor belt carousels.
  When these machine components and parts are broken or defective, operators failing to warn is a major problem at all airports. This should not be your problem. Helicopter, plane, slip, trip, or fall on the flooring. Our superlative lead attorney gets results.

Our liability lawyers recently saw the estate of the helicopter pilot in Vanessa Bryant’s wrongful death lawsuit blame air traffic controllers for negligently allowing the Laker Star’s helicopter crash in bad weather, killing Kobe in an aviation accident.

Aviation accident cases remain rare. All survivors can learn some aviation accident liability standards from our charismatic lawyers.

Parking lots, crosswalks, and walkways

Most contingency fee agreements will pay your attorney a gross percentage between 33% and 40% of a settlement. But in case of a trial, the better trial lawyers will receive a fee of between 40% or even 50%.

We resolve most cases for a 33% fee of your gross award.

Example: What is a third of $100,000

Customers and others are at risk from falls and airport shuttle strikes in the parking lot and walking pathways to and from the terminal and ramps.

• Distracted drivers aren’t paying attention to pedestrians or driving through poorly lit areas with few or no danger notifications or comments/warnings from ground safety personnel.

Here’s one thing our group of elite accident lawyers can tell families about causes of liability after so many free consultations. Any actions against airline agencies, establishments, or landlords for failure to warn you will be hotly contested. We will work by your side to get you the maximum compensation you need.

In many cases, airport shuttle trips, car accidents, motorcycle collisions, and airline personal injuries will involve the liability of a company or multiple defendants, making your case complicated but worth a lot of money.
