Flying for business and personal travel has become much more common than it was just a generation ago. What was once a luxury reserved for the rich is now a common means of travel for most people who need to cover a great distance or must arrive at their destination quickly. But as this form of transportation has grown significantly, there are many new issues, such as the throngs of passengers pushing and shoving to get to their seats, the drinks and food being spilled on floors, and the challenges of luggage and personal items that are literally overflowing into the aisles as you walk through the cabin of the airplane. While still the safest means of travel, there are over 3M passengers boarding over 45,000 daily flights in the United States. That means there are more people suffering slip and fall, trip and fall, or other injury incidents than you might expect each week. And with those injuries come lawsuits that take time to resolve.
If you suffered an injury on any of these major airlines serving the United States, you could have grounds for a lawsuit against the company:
- Delta Air Lines (DL)
- United Airlines (UA)
- American Airlines (AA)
- Lufthansa Group (LH)
- International Airlines Group (BA/IB)

Common Airplane Incidents And Injuries
When you are boarding an airplane, moving from your seat to the lavatory, retrieving personal items from overhead storage, or disembarking, there are many safety concerns you might encounter. Sadly, these issues are often related to the airline staff’s lack of care and maintenance of the plane and its features. Some common problems reported by passengers who suffered harm include:
- Slip and fall due to spilled drinks or food, leaking hoses or water lines, ice dropped on the floor and not properly cleaned up
- Trip and fall safety hazards that include damaged carpet or flooring surfaces, loose hoses or electrical wiring that is now in a walkway, broken or missing safety handrails when entering and exiting the aircraft
- Harm from falling objects when overhead compartments are opened, doors on the lav that swing open unexpectedly, or items that are dropped on a passenger, such as food or hot drinks
It is unfortunate to discover that these hazards that could have easily been prevented to rapidly corrected could result in severe harm to passengers, including one or more of these injuries:
- Broken bones
- Partial or complete amputations
- Soft tissue injuries and the destruction of nerve tissue
- Back, neck, and spinal cord damage
- Severe lacerations and puncture wounds that also involve damage to internal organs and internal bleeding
- Facial injuries to the eyes, ears, nose, or mouth
Head injuries that could include a severe concussion, skull fracture, brain bleed, or traumatic brain injury
Other common safety issues include harm from a drink serving cart, damage in the lavatory that causes harm or injuries, or hazards related to damaged seats or safety belts.

What Factors Influence The Time Needed To Settle An Airplane Injury Lawsuit?
When you suffer an injury on an airplane flight, you are sure to be concerned about the time needed to resolve the matter and get the compensation you need to cover your losses and expenses. You must understand that there are many factors that can influence the time needed to complete your case, such as:
- The workload of the court
- The severity of your injuries and ability to evaluate future medical costs to include in the lawsuit
- The actions of the airline and its legal team when acting on this matter
However, the one factor that is often most critical and that you have the ability to control is the legal team you hire to handle the airplane injury lawsuit for you. The staff at Normandie Law Firm brings decades of combined experience and expertise to each case we litigate. Our success rate and history as the legal team that never gives up when working to protect the rights of our clients is well-known among the legal teams representing airlines. We are proud that most cases we handle never see the inside of a courtroom because the airline is eager to settle and avoid the added cost and time of fighting a legal battle they know they will lose. Some cases can be resolved in a matter of months, while others will require more than a year. But to have a more accurate estimate of the time needed to resolve your airline injury lawsuit, please reach out to Normandie Law Firm to book your free consultation today.
What Is The Possible Value Of An Airline Injury Lawsuit?
When you work with the Normandie Law Firm legal team, we will assist you in compiling all the documentation to verify your actual expenses and losses used to determine the compensation for your airline injury lawsuit. The items most commonly considered allowable expenses include:
- The cost to replace all personal items damaged in the airline injury incident
- The cost of all legal services to prepare, file, and litigate the airline accident injury lawsuit
- All current and projected medical expenses related to the injuries sustained in the airline injury incident
- Your lost income if the harm suffered in the airline injury incident prevents you from working at your regular job until you are fully healed and cleared by your medical care providers to return to work
How Long Do I Have To File My Airline Injury Lawsuit?
The time limit to file a personal injury lawsuit is two years from the date of the injury incident. If the case is not presented to the court within that time, the victim loses the right to seek compensation for their losses and expenses once the time limit has passed. In addition, it is vital you understand that there are very few exceptions that would provide added time for a victim to file their claim with the court once the original time allotment has passed. Please get in touch with Normandie Law Firm today to discuss the facts of your airline injury incident and the time remaining to take legal action.
