According to reports, the aircraft struck a man who had breached the runway perimeter during takeoff at Denver International Airport, triggering an aborted takeoff, an engine fire warning and an emergency evacuation using inflatable slides. Several passengers reported injuries, while many others endured extreme emotional trauma during the incident.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ramos Law, alongside <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/teamjustice.com\/aviation-lawyers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>DJC Law<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, is representing passengers because aviation incidents require a careful review of every safety layer involved, including airport security, runway monitoring, emergency response, evacuation procedures, and post-incident passenger support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While investigators have stated the individual intentionally entered the airfield, serious questions remain about how a person was able to access an active runway at one of the nation\u2019s busiest airports and come into contact with a departing commercial aircraft. Reports indicate the individual breached the airport perimeter fence minutes before the collision occurred.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Passengers on commercial flights place their trust in airlines, airports and aviation safety systems every time they board an aircraft. When that trust is shattered by a catastrophic runway emergency, passengers may be left dealing with physical injuries, emotional distress, anxiety related to flying and significant disruption to their lives. Ramos Law and DJC Law are committed to helping those passengers understand their legal rights and pursue accountability where failures in safety, security or emergency response may have contributed to the event.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As federal investigators continue examining how the breach occurred and whether additional safety failures contributed to the incident, many questions remain unanswered. For the passengers aboard Frontier Flight F94345, the event was not simply a delayed departure. It was a terrifying emergency that unfolded in seconds and left many dealing with physical injuries, emotional trauma and lasting anxiety. Ramos Law will continue advocating for those affected while seeking accountability, transparency and answers about how a person was able to gain access to an active runway at one of the busiest and most heavily secured airports in the United States.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><b>What legal representation can help determine<\/b><\/h3><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether airport perimeter security systems worked as intended<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether the runway breach was detected quickly enough<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether air traffic control or airport operations received timely notice<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether the aircraft should have been stopped before takeoff continued<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether evacuation procedures were followed<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether passengers received adequate post-evacuation support<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28beec9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"28beec9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=Q1Wuj2emcfU&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5662c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a5662c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><b style=\"color: #f5b111;\">Colorado Governmental Immunity Act (CGIA) Notice Requirement<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In cases involving potential claims against a governmental entity such as Denver International Airport, Colorado law requires a specific procedural step known as a <\/span><b>Colorado Governmental Immunity Act (CGIA) notice<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This notice is governed by <\/span><b>Colo. Rev. Stat. \u00a7 24-10-109<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and is a mandatory prerequisite before any lawsuit or formal claim can be pursued against a public entity.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A CGIA notice is <\/span><b>not a lawsuit<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and it does not mean that a lawsuit has been filed or will necessarily be filed. Instead, it is a formal notice that preserves a passenger\u2019s ability to bring a claim in the future if an investigation determines there is sufficient evidence of liability involving a governmental entity.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This requirement is critical because, without proper notice, an individual may be legally barred from pursuing any claim against a public entity, even if evidence later supports potential wrongdoing or negligence. In other words, failure to comply with the CGIA notice requirement can permanently eliminate a passenger\u2019s right to bring a claim related to the incident.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colorado law also imposes a strict deadline. The CGIA notice must be submitted within <\/span><b>182 days<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the incident.
