Handling Plane And Helicopter Crashes In The U.S. And Around The World

Aviation crashes, injuries and fatalities are almost unbelievably complex, legally. For instance:

  • Do you need help regarding a local or regional helicopter or plane crash? Texas’ and neighboring states’ wrongful death and survival laws may apply.
  • Do you need help regarding an international plane crash involving a foreign airline, foreign passengers or an international stop/layover? International plane crashes are governed by the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, the Warsaw Convention, the Hague Convention and/or the Montreal Convention.
  • Do you need help regarding a domestic commercial or private plane crash? Airlines’ liability for injury or death is often determined by state tort law. However, federal law may also apply because the federal government is responsible for regulating aviation safety standards.
  • Do you need help regarding a plane crash that occurred over an ocean? Airline accidents occurring over oceans can involve the Death on the High Seas Act.
  • Plane and helicopter accidents can also involve products liability laws.
