Who is liable for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered in a LAX slip and fall accident? LAX is owned and operated by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) which is a city department, specifically a Los Angeles city department.

Liability is based on the concept of premise liability, in which all property owners are liable for any harm that occurs on their property. Because of this, victims could file a claim against LAWA; more specifically, victims could file government claims against the City of Los Angeles.

Without a doubt, you could be eligible to file a lawsuit for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered in an LAX slip and fall accident. Although you could sue, you could unfortunately lose your right to sue if you do not file your claim on time. This is because all claims are subject to a statute of limitations.
A statute of limitations determines the total length of time that claimants have to file their claims. What deadline applies to your claim? In general, injury claims filed in California are subject to a two-year statute of limitations, meaning that claimants must file within two-years. However, an injury claim against an airport like LAX, which is owned and operated by the city, is a government claim and is subject to shorter deadlines.
Government claims must be filed within six months. The government entity will have 45 days to respond. If they respond and deny your claim within the 45-day period, claimants will have 6 months to file a lawsuit in court. However, if there is no response within the 45-day period, claimants will have two-years to sue (although this is unlikely).
To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the total length of time that you have to file your LAX slip and fall claim, do not hesitate to contact us immediately.
