Recently, I was passing through an airport and had some time to kill. Grabbed a Starbuck’s Hazelnut Soy Latte and one of their protein packs (I have a problem!) and found a nice quiet spot to sit and wait for my flight. While I was sitting off in my little corner, I saw a maintenance worker begin to mop the shiny floors in front of me. He put no warning to notify people of the wet floor, and after finishing, he left! And wow, were those wet floors really shiny!
You know what happens next.
People leaving an aircraft walk out, look around, turning left and right and several of them fall, a couple actually fell on each other as soon as they hit the wet floor.
One lady was seriously injured. Now it is unethical for a lawyer to solicit cases or confront an injured party, in person. But I so wanted to help her, at least to inform her of the three things she needed to know.
An injury in an airport is not like any other personal injury. Here are three ways that they special.
- Depending on where the accident occurred, you could find yourself in State or Federal Court. Does your lawyer understand the different and where and when to go into which court?
- A personal injury in an airport has some very strict timelines in which evidence is being lost or destroyed immediately after the injury. Does your lawyer know how to preserve that evidence to win your case?
- Delays of even one day can kill your airport personal injury case. Is your lawyer swift enough to immediately take up your case and issue letters of preservation and notice? Do they return your calls within a few hours; do they respond to your questions directly and swiftly?
If you are injured in an airport, there are very few lawyers that understand the time sensitive problems and have the experience to successfully pursue these cases.
