Who must file an accident report if injury or death occurs on the ramps or vehicle service roads?

In the event of an accident on the ramps or vehicle service roads at LAX that results in injury or death, it is essential for both the Los Angeles Fire Department and Airport Police to file an accident report. The involvement of both agencies is critical because the Los Angeles Fire Department responds to medical emergencies and oversees care for any individuals injured in the accident. Their assessment and documentation are crucial for medical and legal purposes.

Simultaneously, Airport Police are responsible for maintaining safety and security within the airport premises. They investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident, document the scene, and gather evidence that may be necessary for legal proceedings or insurance claims. Their collaboration ensures a comprehensive account of the accident is recorded, aiding in the overall safety protocols and regulatory compliance at the airport.

This dual filing requirement underscores the comprehensive approach taken for safety in high-risk areas like airport ramps and vehicle service roads, where the potential for serious incidents exists.
