Airport Construction Accidents

If you spend any time traveling, you know that airports are areas of frequent construction. Because of the sheer amount of people who pass through the gates of local airports on a daily basis, expansions and improvements are not only needed, but are often a requirement for new safety standards.

Airport construction is so common that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) created an Airport Construction Advisory Council to help reduce and alleviate some of the hazards that construction can cause. Construction accidents are common and can cause serious, sometimes fatal injuries.

Types of Construction in Airports

Airports are not just places of travel, they are also places for shopping and eating; almost a mall in the middle of thousands of passengers rushing to catch their flights. There is always a need for improvements and expansions to keep the airport up to code, efficient, and safe for everyone that visits.

Some of the most common types of construction in airports includes:

• Interior remodeling
• Mechanical construction such as escalators, people movers, and baggage claim areas
• Building construction
• Runway repairs and expansions
• Road construction 

This construction can not only be dangerous by nature, but it is almost always performed in a bustling and busy area, putting travelers and construction workers at risk for serious injuries. 

Frequency of Construction Accidents 

The construction industry in general is a dangerous field to work in and according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), one (1) in ten construction workers is injured in construction accidents every year. The most common types of construction-related accidents that cause injury include:

• Falls
• Being struck by an object
• Being stuck in an object
• Being pinned by an object
• Overexertion 

Construction workers suffer serious injuries from these accidents, most often to their trunk, spine, and back. These injuries can lead to lost work, extensive medical bills, a diminished quality of life due to pain and suffering, and in the most extreme cases, wrongful death. 

Compensation for Airport Construction Accidents 

If you were injured in an airport construction accident, you may be able to receive compensation for your damages. Airport construction accidents involve different areas of law and can be complex, but an experienced personal injury lawyer can review your case and determine which entities could be liable for your injuries and what compensation you may be entitled to.
