Austin Law Firm to Sue Denver Over Frontier Flight Runway Death
An Austin-based law firm, DJC Law, is preparing to file a lawsuit against the city and county of Denver following a fatal incident involving a Frontier Airlines flight at Denver International Airport. The incident occurred when the aircraft, during takeoff, struck and killed a man who had breached the airport's perimeter fence. The collision resulted in a brief engine fire, causing smoke to fill the cabin and necessitating an emergency evacuation. Twelve passengers sustained injuries, with five requiring hospitalization. Attorney Andres Pereira, representing several passengers, described the event as a 'preventable aviation incident' and highlighted the traumatic experiences of his clients, some of whom witnessed the collision from their seats. The law firm alleges failures in the airport's security systems and response protocols.
