The suit was filed in 2006 when a driver fell asleep at the wheel and plowed through a chain link fence at Teterboro Airport, smashing into a plane on the tarmac 75 feet from the road.

The plane owners, Potomac Aviation Services, sued the airport for failing to install fencing that would adequately protect the plane and for parking it in a dangerous spot.

At issue were federal and industry guidelines for the type of fencing that was used to cordon off the airport property. The aviation company maintained that chain link fencing was in violation of safety measures.

However, the airport was found not liable for the damages. “There is nothing presented that in common sense or fairness convinces us that defendants’ duty to exercise reasonable care over plaintiff’s plane or to provide a reasonably safe place for it to be parked included an obligation to install guide rail or other protective devices,” the judges concluded.

The AAA Foundation for Safety has reported that the number of fatal crashes among the state’s 17-year-old drivers has dropped by 32 percent. In addition, there was a 44 percent reduction in the crash rate among 17-year-olds during the midnight to 5 a.m. time frame. Officials credit this success to the Graduated Driver’s License program, which restricts the number of passengers allowed in the vehicle, increases the amount of practice driving required, and adds late-night curfews for teen drivers.

These proactive steps taken by our state government and police forces have made the road safer for all drivers. If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident, contact the Edison personal injury lawyers of Levinson Axelrod by calling 800-346-5529.
