Personal injury situations can arise in almost any context, and while there are common types of cases that include Las Vegas car accidents and the like, some scenarios are very strange indeed. Unfortunately, one woman was victimized by one of these strange situations on Thursday when she was injured by a propeller attached to a plane at McCarran International Airport and sent to the trauma unit at the hospital.
The incident occurred on Thursday afternoon at approximately 4:30 p.m. when a 21-year-old woman, whose name has not been released, was hit in the head by a plane propeller. The propeller was part of a private Beechcraft Bonanza plane, and the woman’s injuries were not disclosed. The fact that she was transported to the trauma unit would suggest that she suffered cuts in the least. The condition of the woman was not disclosed either, and more statements are expected to be released soon.
Las Vegas Personal Injury Scenarios
While few if any statistics are kept in this regard, Las Vegas personal injury scenarios can arise in almost any situation, as stated above. Furthermore, this sort of incident gives rise to several competing theories of liability. If the woman decides to bring a Nevada personal injury lawsuit against the party or parties who were allegedly negligent on Thursday, such a claim could be brought on theories such as premises liability on the part of those in charge of the airport location where she was harmed, or there could be a valid claim brought against those who failed to secure the propeller and who allowed her to go near such a dangerous situation.
