Airport Accident FAQs

A DFW Airport accident lawyer hears a lot of the same questions over and over when interacting with clients. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.


At Crain Brogdon, LLP, we work on contingency, which means we get paid when you get paid. Our attorney’s fees and case expenses are paid by the defendant’s insurance company in successful personal injury claims.


Our Dallas DFW Airport accident lawyers see head injuries when luggage falls out of overhead compartments on planes, hip fractures when a client slips and falls on a wet floor in an airport terminal, and burns when a flight attendant spills hot coffee on a passenger. These are just a few of the many injuries that can happen at airports and on planes.


Because every case is different, there is no “average” settlement amount. Typically, the more serious the injury, the higher the payout. If you’d like to know more about what your case might be worth, call our DFW airport accident lawyer for a free assessment of your claim.


Premises liability is a legal term that means the owner or operator of a property has the legal obligation to keep it safe and free of hazards. If the owner/operator fails in this duty and a visitor is injured, then the owner/operator can be held liable for damages for the injuries suffered by a plaintiff. A slip and fall accident caused by wet or uneven flooring is an example of a premises liability claim.


At Crain Brogdon, LLP, we provide high-level legal services that include meeting with senior-level lawyers. Unlike huge, multi-state and national law firms, you will get our attorneys’ full attention rather than being left on your own with a junior staffer.


Data shows that plane accidents are far less common than car accidents. Statistically, for every 1 million miles a person travels in a car, they can expect to be in about 4.5 crashes. For every 100,000 flights a person takes in the U.S., they can expect to be involved in about 1.05 accidents.

Airports are often large and crowded, and people are hurrying to catch flights and make connections. For this reason, falls and other accidents can happen. If you or your loved one has been injured at an airport or on a plane, you could be entitled to financial compensation. Speak to our skilled DFW airport accident lawyer to find out about your legal rights.

An DFW Airport Accident Lawyer Who Fights for Your Rights

According to data provided by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), there are more than 40,000 flights, with 2.6 million passengers, every day in the U.S. There are approximately 5,000 public-use (open to the public) airports, heliports, and seaplane bases and 14,400 private-use (closed to the public) airports in the U.S., according to the FAA. DFW – at 17,207 acres (27 square miles) — is larger than the island of Manhattan, and it is the second largest airport by land area in the U.S., after Denver International Airport.

If you’ve been injured at DFW or while flying on a plane, you want to choose the right attorney to represent you. A DFW airport accident lawyer at Crain Brogdon, LLP possesses these qualities that make them excellent at what they do:

  • Trustworthy
  • Educated and experienced
  • Well prepared
  • Patient and compassionate
  • Good at communicating
  • Authoritative
  • Determined to succeed.

When you are hurt, scared, and overwhelmed, you want to know that you are in good legal hands. You get that at Crain Brogdon, LLP.

Modified Comparative Negligence Laws in Texas

In calculating damages/compensation, Texas uses a modified comparative negligence formula (also known as “proportionate responsibility”). This means that if you are found partially at fault for causing the injury accident, your damages will be reduced proportionately. If you are more than 50% responsible for the accident, the law does not allow you to seek compensation for your losses.

For example, if you were running and shoving other passengers when you slipped on a wet floor in an airport, then the court might find that you were 10% responsible for the accident and the airport operator was 90% responsible. If the total payout awarded was $200,000, then the amount you receive would be reduced by 10% (you would receive $180,000).

In another example, if a flight attendant spilled hot coffee on you during turbulence on an airplane, but the “fasten seatbelt” sign was on and you got up and moved around anyway – then a court could find you were partially at fault for your injury accident and your compensation would be reduced.

Damages You May Be Entitled To

If you’ve been injured in an airport accident, you may be entitled to financial compensation, including economic and non-economic damages. These include:

Economic

  • Lost wages
  • Loss of future earnings
  • Medical and hospital bills
  • Future medical care and rehabilitation
  • Property damages

Non-Economic

  • Pain and suffering
  • PTSD and emotional distress
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Loss of consortium (spouse files suit)
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

In some cases, but not all, a judge can also award punitive damages (sometimes called “exemplary damages”) to punish a defendant for their careless disregard for the safety of others.
