Florida law allows crash survivors or their families to be compensated for an aviation accident through legal claims and seeking compensation from the at-fault party for damages.
A plane crash lawsuit settlement can be reached in many cases without formally trying a case in court.
If the crash occurred due to carelessness or wrongful actions, survivors or their families may have a statutory basis to file a lawsuit, such as:
- Negligence claim - if the crash resulted from a party's negligence. It often requires determining that the responsible party overlooked providing reasonable care, and this negligence led to the collision and resulted in injuries.
- Product liability claim - if a defective aircraft or its faulty components caused the crash, survivors may file a product liability lawsuit against the manufacturer or distributor of the defective equipment.
- Breach of contract - if the crash is brought on by a breach of contract, such as disregarding safety standards or contractual obligations, survivors may have a legal basis for a lawsuit.
- Wrongful death claim - in the unfortunate occurrence of fatalities after the crash, surviving family members may file wrongful death claims to receive compensation for their losses.
