Airport jetways are the commonly used alternative for when people are in a rush for their flights. Jetways are electronically powered walkways that go through airports in order to allow you to move at a much faster pace than walking yourself – similar to what would be a flat escalator. However, they can cause some dangerous accidents if they are flawed in any way. If you were in an accident due to an airport jetway, contact us for a free consultation to see if you can be compensated for the damages that you have endured.
Airport jetways are in constant use due to the constant traffic that is present in any airport. Therefore, they must be maintained and inspected regularly to ensure that they are safe for people to use as they pass through the airport to their gates. Failure to inspect and/or maintain jetways can cause accidents that cause it to malfunction and cause injuries such as electric shocks, burns, concussions, bruising, and cuts from falling. The jetway may also malfunction if there are design or manufacturing defects in the mechanism itself. In either of these cases, the manufacturer of the jetway can be held liable for negligence since they released a product that posed a risk to its users.
Also, accidents can occur in trip and fall scenarios, if there are objects obstructing the jetway path. A person can trip over an obstruction and sustain injuries from the fall, as well as other injuries that may result from automatically being pushed along the jetway and sustaining injuries similar to rug burns or scrapes. The airport can be held liable for not taking care of an obstruction in a timely manner if a reasonable person would be unable to see it beforehand.
