San Jose Airport Accident Attorney

Yes, you can sue for an accident resulting from a dangerous condition at San Jose International Airport, which could have been resolved by airport staff or the owners. You can seek various forms of compensation from an accident claim, such as medical expenses, lost wages during your recovery, and pain and suffering.

Your right to file a claim is based on premises liability, which refers to the responsibility that owners have to ensure a safe environment for anyone that has a right to be on the property. It’s not a matter of preventing every type of accident. Rather, it’s taking preventative measures, like keeping the airport clean and arranging for repairs, in order to minimize the possibility of an accident.

Keeping others from harm also includes a certain level of security, like hiring security guards and installing surveillance cameras throughout the airport. However, there are instances where security personnel cause injury to others by using excessive force to try and exert control over a situation.

Sometimes, a San Jose Airport injury claim is filed against an entity that is separate from the airport. For example, many people use Uber or Lyft instead of driving themselves to the airport. If a rideshare driver was distracted by their phone and crashed into your car in the parking lot, you would file a claim with Uber or Lyft for your monetary losses.

These examples indicate how tricky it can be to determine who is responsible when you are injured on someone else’s property. Clearly, there are a lot of issues we need to examine with you in person, so call us right away and talk to a lawyer who can sue San Jose International Airport for an accident resulting from negligence or misconduct.

Accident claims against San Jose International Airport can have settlement values between $10,000 and $2,500,000. Please note that these amounts are estimates, and there is no way to say for sure what the average value is for an airport accident injury case. For some people, the extent of their injuries and their monetary losses will be $50,000 or less, while other victims obtain verdicts or settlements of several million dollars. How much you are entitled is a subject we’ll need to discuss during a free, private consultation, so please contact our office as soon as possible.

While there is no way to predict how long it will take to settle your case, we have found that liability claims against the government usually take between 12 and 24 months. Thus, it will probably take anywhere from 1 to 2 years to receive your payment for being in an accident at San Jose Airport. It’s important to remember that these timeframes are estimates that may or may not reflect how long your own case will take to settle. Some people end up receiving a fair settlement offer from the city within months of filing a claim. On the other end of the spectrum, you have lawsuits that are tried in court, meaning it will take over 3 years to reach the finish line on a City of San Jose liability claim.

Unless you have an exceptional circumstance that the courts are willing to consider, you have only 6 months from the date of your accident to file a claim with the City of San Jose.
