- Slip and falls in the terminal, parking lot, or during boarding/de-boarding
- Falling baggage or baggage cart accidents
- Shuttle bus accidents and car accidents
- Work-related injuries (on the tarmac, baggage handling, etc.)

Roura & Melamed recovered over $11 million on behalf of an airport employee whose lower leg had to be surgically amputated after he was struck by a plane-docking vehicle. See our Notable Cases.
Who Is Liable for Airport Injury Accidents?
If you work for an airline, you cannot sue your employer, but you might have a claim against the Port Authority, a private bus company or a business that leases space in the terminal. Likewise, airport employees may have a claim against the air carrier or a third party. Air passengers and the public might have a claim against one or more of the above.
Roura & Melamed conducts a prompt, thorough investigation and pursues all avenues of liability. We are committed to securing full compensation for medical treatment, lost wages and lasting disability from an airport injury.
