In general, there are two issues Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers consider when handling a fall accident at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. One is identifying the right party or multiple parties and the second is the issue of notice, or whether the responsible party knew about the defective condition, or should have known about it. If an airport is operated and managed by a city, a government entity, there may be issues of immunity from liability and in slip and fall accidents, liability is based on negligence in the care, custody or control of real property or things affixed to airport property.
