Determining who is responsible for accidents is challenging. We take pride in understanding how to determine who is liable for your accident. The responsible defendants for accidents at Boston Logan International Airport, depending on how the accident happens, may include the following:
Vehicle accidents
- A driver
- An employer of a negligent driver
- An owner of a vehicle driven by a negligent driver
- Manufacturers of defective vehicle parts
- Sellers of alcohol to visibly intoxicated patrons or minors may be liable where the service was negligent and foreseeably caused the injury
Uber and Lyft must have insurance for their drivers who are logged into the rideshare app or who have accepted a ride (and are en route to the passenger or have the passenger in their vehicle).
Accidents involving an airplane
- Generally, the airline that operates the aircraft and employs or controls the negligent personnel may be liable for their acts
- Other defendants, depending on how the accident happened
Accidents inside Logan Airport
The responsibility for these accidents is complicated. Possible defendants may include:
- The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), which owns and operates Logan Airport (may be subject to special rules and limitations under Massachusetts law applicable to public entities)
- Other public or private entities, depending on the circumstances, including:
- An owner or tenant of the business where the accident happened
- An airline (such as when accidents happen at luggage pickup locations)
- Maintenance and inspection companies
- Another user of the airport
Depending on the parties, claims, and any applicable contracts, litigation may proceed in Massachusetts state court or federal court; arbitration may apply where required by contract, such as certain airline or rideshare agreements.
If there are multiple defendants, each defendant may try to blame the other defendant. The defendants may also try to argue that the victim is comparatively negligent.
It may be necessary for the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) or the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to become involved, depending on the nature of the incident.
