Philadelphia Airport Can Be the Site for Stress and Injuries during the Busy Travel Season
During June 2009, 148,683 passengers embarked on 18,725 regularly scheduled flights from Philadelphia International Airport. If you have flown through the airport recently, the process of getting on and off of planes and traversing through Philadelphia International Airport can often times be stressful. As crowds gather through security or security check points or at the curb to check luggage, many times airport personnel are not paying attention or are not fully tuned into the task at hand. They make careless errors causing serious injuries and unfortunately sometimes fatalities.
In the past, the experienced Philadelphia premise liability and aircraft accident lawyers of Reiff & Bily have successfully handled claims where passengers have been ejected from airline transport carts, dropped from wheelchairs, injured by a baggage cart, by construction hazards, by wet floors, resulting in a slip and fall, or even by being accosted by aggressive airport personnel. Sometimes there are injuries on the tarmac or in the airport lounge or on the buses that transport you on or about airport property. It is generally clear-cut that an airline is responsible for accidents that occur on its own planes. However, the responsibility for injuries in an airport terminal itself, on the tarmac, or in airport lounges requires careful investigation. It is important to contact an experienced airport premises liability and airport accident lawyer to make sure that the proper entity or person is sued for your injuries.
