As the world’s busiest airport, it is treasured by the city of Atlanta as a cornerstone of the local economy. It has also been plagued by allegations of lackadaisical safety practices.

Here are some of the types of dangers at the airport that can cause serious injuries:
Traveling through the airport should be safe. Escalators and moving walkways should be appropriately manufactured and maintained to protect individuals from getting caught and sustaining injuries. Flooring should be clear of liquids and debris that can lead to slipping and falling. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, and accidents and injuries are not uncommon.
Legitimate visitors to any property, public or private, have the right to a safe environment. Airports are no exception. When the management of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport puts profits ahead of passenger safety, it’s responsible for the resulting harm that comes to those passengers.
