Trip And Fall On Private Plane Carpet

It is critical that passengers on a private plane understand the limited space and possible limited visibility due to the size of the aircraft. You will find that the seating and other furnishings can block your view of the carpet and any seams or transitions from carpet to different flooring surfaces. So it is essential you move carefully and use handrails when possible. Loose carpet or damaged carpet can easily snag or catch your shoe and result in a painful slip and fall injury. In addition, when accessing remote areas like a restroom, turn on lights immediately to illuminate the path and avoid any issues related to carpet damage or instability.

The owner of a private plane has a duty or obligation to passengers to provide a safe environment free of common safety hazards. This applies to all aspects, from the function of the plane’s mechanical devices to the seatbelts and carpet on the floors. Owners and their staff are required to inspect the aircraft and make necessary repairs to ensure the safety of guests. If they fail to fulfill this obligation, they can be found negligent in their duty of care. If that negligence is later found to have caused or contributed to an injury accident, the owner can be liable for the victim’s losses and expenses due to the injuries they sustained on the plane.

If you suffered a trip and fall due to loose carpet or a section of carpet that was damaged, please reach out to DTLA Law Group today to discuss the injury incident and your ability to seek compensation that is owed to you.

Victims of personal injuries need to understand that each case is unique and that there are no predetermined values for injury lawsuits. Instead, you will work with your DTLA Law Group legal team to compile all allowable expenses used to calculate the value of your lawsuit compensation. The items typically used for this process include but are not limited to:

• All current and projected future medical costs to treat the injuries suffered in the incident
• Your legal fees for preparing, filing, and litigating your trip and fall injury case
• Any lost income if you were unable to work until fully recovering from your trip and fall injuries or if you lost income due to the time spent getting medical care for your injuries
• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the trip and fall injury incident

In cases where the victim suffered severe injuries or faces a lengthy recovery process, it is likely you will also seek compensation for your pain and suffering. Because this is not a documented expense, your legal team will help you determine a fair and reasonable amount to include based on recently completed cases with similar injuries or recovery processes.

The Statute of Limitations defines the time provided to victims who wish to file a lawsuit with the court. While the time varies based on the legal matter involved in the case, this time limit is strictly enforced. If the victim does not file the claim within the time limit, they lose the right to seek compensation for losses due to that incident.

In cases involving personal injuries, such as a trip and fall on a private plane, you have two years from the date of the incident to file your case with the court. Knowing that there are minimal exceptions to secure more time to file your lawsuit, it is wise to contact DTLA Law Group as soon as possible to begin preparing your case for the court. Once the Statute of Limitations has expired, there is little any legal expert can do to help you seek compensation and justice for the harm you suffered if your case has not already been submitted to the court.

At DTLA Law Group, we believe in providing justice for all. We never want to learn that a victim of a personal injury did not get the compensation that was owed to them because they could not afford upfront legal fees and expenses. So, our firm is ready to take on any case with legal merit and never ask for any upfront payments or fees. You only pay DTLA Law Group for our services and investment in your case after the lawsuit is resolved. Once you have the compensation, we know that paying your legal costs will no longer create a financial burden.

Finally, if DTLA Law Group fails to win your trip and fall injury lawsuit, you owe us nothing for our time. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our staff today to learn more about this pledge to all personal injury victims and prospective clients. We are here to ensure that you have the expert legal representation you deserve and that our exceptional team will secure the compensation needed for you to overcome the challenges and hardships caused by your injuries.
