Plane Crash Frequently Asked Questions
I sustained an injury in a plane crash. Can I receive financial assistance for my medical bills?
Yes. If you were injured in a plane crash, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, ongoing treatment, lost wages and other related costs. This can come from the airline’s insurance, the aircraft operator or other responsible parties. Because aviation cases are complex and often involve federal regulations, consulting an experienced attorney can help ensure your medical and financial needs are properly addressed.
Are pilots allowed to use phones or other distractions while flying?
No. Federal aviation regulations prohibit pilots from engaging in activities that distract them from safely operating the aircraft, such as using a cellphone or other personal devices during critical phases of flight. If a pilot’s negligence or distraction contributed to a crash, it can form the basis of a personal injury or wrongful death claim.
My loved one died in a plane crash. The airline offered me a settlement—should I accept it?
You are not required to accept any offer without fully understanding your legal rights. Early settlement offers from airlines are often limited and may not cover all medical bills, funeral costs, lost income or long-term damages. A Phoenix aviation attorney can help evaluate the offer, negotiate for fair compensation and ensure your rights are protected before you sign anything.
Who can be held responsible for injuries in a plane crash?
Liability can extend beyond the pilot to include the airline, aircraft manufacturer, maintenance company, charter service or airport authorities. Aviation accidents are often caused by multiple factors, so identifying all responsible parties is crucial to securing full compensation.
Do I have to wait for a government investigation before pursuing a claim?
No. While the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the FAA typically investigate plane crashes, victims do not have to wait for these reports to pursue compensation. That said, NTSB findings and FAA compliance records can be important evidence in your case. An experienced attorney can help coordinate claims with ongoing investigations while protecting your legal rights.
