( Legal )



Aviation law deals with the compliance of the safety of aircraft operations and the maintenance of aviation facilities worldwide. Aviation law also covers legal issues pertaining to any air accidents that involve commercial, military, or private aircraft. Aircraft accidents are caused by aircraft engine failure, poor maintenance, or repair of aircraft, failure to load enough fuel, pilot error, negligence of air traffic controller, approach and landing problems, poor weather conditions, or a combination of a number of these factors.

Aviation law is a complex matter as it involves a combination of state, foreign and federal laws as well as liability laws.

If you or a loved one has suffered from any injuries as a result of an air accident, you should contact an aviation law firm for assistance. Legal advice can also be sought by family members of those people who are victims of a wrongful death as a result of an air accident.

Under the aviation law, travelers have a right to travel safely. If your safety is threatened you have the right to claim for financial compensation based on any physical injuries and/or emotional trauma sustained. When an aircraft crash happens within a state’s territory on land or in water, the state’s aviation law will allow you to claim for medical expenses, future wage loss until the victim retires, any funeral expenses, pain and suffering and the services of a caregiver.

Aviation attorneys will collect information regarding the air accident, your physical and mental condition and evaluate your case using the information you provide. A large number of aviation attorneys will accept your case on a contingency basis. This means that if no money is awarded in a lawsuit, or out-of-court settlement, you will not owe the aviation lawyer any money. As a result, aviation lawyers accept your case based on your chances of winning your aviation case. Aviation lawyers pay for all the expenses relating to your trial, and only get reimbursed when you win your case.

You should file your claim immediately after the occurrence of an air accident. The aviation law only permits you to file your claim within one year from the date of the air accident occurrence.
