New York City Aviation Accidents Attorneys

New York Plane Crash Lawyers

While individual chances to become a victim of a plane crash are small, plane crash survivors often sustain serious or catastrophic injuries. Our New York aviation accidents attorneys represent both plane crash survivors and surviving family members on state and federal levels.

The most important federal law that applies to aviation accidents is the Federal Aviation Act of 1958. The law establishes safety standards for the aviation industry, including regulation of the conduct of pilots, aircraft manufacturing, and flight operation. Federal authorities have exclusive jurisdiction of matters involving plane crashes. By law, airlines may limit the amount of monetary compensation to $75,000 for damages in the event of an accident. In order to obtain a higher compensation, one must establish that the airline was knowingly negligent.

Litigation involving plane accidents is relatively rare and very complex due to different regulations governing the types of planes. If you are a survivor or a surviving family member of a plane crash, you should contact our New York Aviation Accident lawyers immediately for a free case evaluation.

Keep in mind that if you have a case, you must bring your case before the statutory statute of limitation expires. Do not delay and seek our expertise today!

If we accept your aviation accident case, we will not settle for anything less than the optimal result. If needed, our trial lawyers will take your case to trial.

If we accept your personal injury case, it will be on the contingency basis meaning that you will not pay us unless and until we recover money for you.


When time comes to speak with a New York City aviation accident lawyer, call us for a free case evaluation or send us an e-mail with the description of your case.

All calls are answered by attorneys, not receptionists or paralegals!
