When you are injured at the Airport<\/b><\/p>\n

What should I do if I\u2019m injured at the airport?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Seek assistance immediately from an airport employee. Emergency medical care is available at most airports, whether it\u2019s first aid, an on-site infirmary, or skilled EMS transport to the nearest hospital.<\/a> Make sure to also consult airport security or law enforcement to obtain official documentation of the accident.<\/p>\n

Attaining clear evidence of the injury is important. If feasible, document the incident yourself using a mobile phone camera or pen and paper. Ask anyone who may have witnessed the incident for their contact information. The more information you gather, the better!<\/p>\n

When you are on the Airplane<\/b><\/p>\n

Less common are personal injuries that occur while on an aircraft, but airline accidents do happen, sometimes because of the negligence of the airline and\/or its employees. Unsecured food and beverage carts, shifting baggage, faulty seat belts, and other scenarios have caused a variety of injuries to passengers.<\/p>\n

Read about this case from Doug Landau\u2019s blog where passengers were injured while on the aircraft and during an emergency evacuation.<\/a><\/p>\n
