We help people who were hurt in a plane crash. We also help families who lost a loved one in one.<\/p>\n<p>An airplane crash is one of the most catastrophic events a person can survive. If you or a family member was injured, whether a claim exists depends on the facts, the medical records, and the applicable Florida law. The claim could be against the airlines, aircraft manufacturers, maintenance contractors, or other parties. Their negligence may have contributed to the crash.<\/p>\n<p>Whether a claim exists depends on the facts, the medical records, and the applicable law.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/resources\/airplane-crash-injury-claims\/\">Airplane crash cases<\/a> can be complex. They may involve federal law, several defendants, and serious injuries. These injuries can include <a href=\"\/resources\/spinal-cord-injuries\/\">spinal cord injuries<\/a>, traumatic brain injuries, <a href=\"\/resources\/severe-burn-injuries\/\">severe burns<\/a>, <a href=\"\/resources\/amputation-injuries\/\">amputations<\/a>, and wrongful death.<\/p>\n<p>CHG Personal Injury Lawyers is based in Coral Gables, Florida. The firm handles personal injury cases of any severity. This includes catastrophic injuries from aviation accidents. We understand the legal and practical challenges that crash survivors and grieving families face.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Who Can Be Held Liable in an Orlando Airplane Crash Injury Case?<\/h2>\n<p>Liability in an airplane crash may reach more than one party. These can include the airline, the aircraft manufacturer, and maintenance contractors. In some cases, pilots or crew members may also be involved.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Airlines<\/strong> may be held responsible if they failed to maintain the aircraft properly. They may also be responsible if they hired unqualified crew or did not follow safety protocols.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aircraft manufacturers<\/strong> may be liable if a design defect or manufacturing flaw contributed to the crash.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maintenance contractors<\/strong> may be responsible if they failed to inspect, repair, or service the aircraft to required standards.<\/p>\n<p>Safety rules that apply to an aircraft and its operation may be relevant to these claims. In catastrophic-injury cases, finding out what caused a crash can take a detailed review. We may review:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Maintenance records<\/li>\n<li>Design specifications<\/li>\n<li>Crew training documentation<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ntsb.gov\/\">National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)<\/a> investigation findings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-color has-text-color\">Not sure what your next step is?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talk it through with our team &#8212; the first consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-call\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:+17867514283\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-form\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/chglawyers.com\/contact-us\/\">Get a free consultation<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Understanding NTSB Investigations and Their Role in Your Claim<\/h2>\n<p>When a commercial airplane crashes, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) may investigate. The NTSB is an independent federal agency. Federal law limits how some investigation materials can be used in court.<\/p>\n<p>Discovery is the formal process of asking for evidence before trial.<\/p>\n<p>These are recordings the NTSB has not made public. A court may allow this kind of discovery only in limited situations. When it does, it must issue a protective order. A protective order is a court order that limits how the material can be used.<\/p>\n<p>An NTSB investigation may look at:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 The aircraft&#8217;s condition and maintenance history\n\u2013 Crew performance and training records\n\u2013 Weather conditions\n\u2013 Air-traffic control communications\n\u2013 Structural or mechanical factors<\/p>\n<p>The NTSB may publish a report with findings and recommendations. These findings can help explain what happened. How they apply to a claim varies from case to case.<\/p>\n<p>Under 49 U.S.C. \u00a7 1154(b), the NTSB&#8217;s own report on an accident generally may not be admitted into evidence or used in a civil action for damages resulting from a matter mentioned in that report. NTSB regulations at 49 C.F.R. \u00a7 835.2 distinguish this Board accident report from factual accident reports, which may be admissible, and how these rules apply depends on the facts of each case. A product-liability claim is a claim against the maker or seller of a product.<\/p>\n<p>An NTSB investigation may still be open when a claim is being discussed. You do not need to wait for the final report to contact CHG Personal Injury Lawyers.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Commercial Airlines vs. Charter and Private Aviation<\/h2>\n<p>Liability rules and applicable law may differ. They depend on the type of aircraft and the operation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Commercial airline crashes<\/strong> may be governed by federal treaties. For international flights, the <a href=\"https:\/\/laws-lois.justice.gc.ca\/eng\/acts\/C-26\/FullText.html#79631\">Montreal Convention<\/a> may apply.<\/p>\n<p>Under Article 17, a carrier is liable for a passenger&#8217;s death or bodily injury only if the accident took place on board the aircraft. It also applies if the accident happened during boarding or leaving the aircraft. The Convention has other requirements and limits, too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/laws-lois.justice.gc.ca\/eng\/acts\/C-26\/FullText.html#79689\">Article 29<\/a> provides that, in any such action, punitive, exemplary or any other non-compensatory damages shall not be recoverable. Non-compensatory damages are damages meant to punish, not to repay a loss.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/laws-lois.justice.gc.ca\/eng\/acts\/C-26\/FullText.html#79720\">Article 35<\/a> provides that the right to damages shall be extinguished if an action is not brought within a period of two years. That period is reckoned from the date of arrival at the destination, or from the date on which the aircraft ought to have arrived, or from the date on which the carriage stopped. The law of the court hearing the case decides how that period is calculated.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/laws-lois.justice.gc.ca\/eng\/acts\/C-26\/FullText.html#79706\">Article 33<\/a> also lists the courts where a passenger injury action may be brought. This is subject to conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Charter flights<\/strong> and <strong>private planes<\/strong> may operate under different rules. Liability may rest with the charter company, the aircraft owner, the pilot, or a combination of them. State law may also apply to charter or private-aviation claims. It depends on where the crash occurred and who was involved.<\/p>\n<p>If you were hurt on a charter flight or private plane, the legal picture can be different. Speak with CHG Personal Injury Lawyers about your situation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>What Types of Injuries Result from Airplane Crashes?<\/h2>\n<p>Crashes can cause catastrophic harm. Impact, rapid deceleration (sudden stopping), fire, and structural damage may all contribute to serious injury.<\/p>\n<p>Crash survivors may suffer:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 <a href=\"\/resources\/spinal-cord-injuries\/\">Spinal cord injuries<\/a> that may result in <a href=\"\/resources\/glossary\/paraplegia\/\">paraplegia<\/a> or quadriplegia (partial or complete paralysis)\n\u2013 Traumatic brain injuries that may cause lasting cognitive, physical, or emotional changes\n\u2013 <a href=\"\/resources\/severe-burn-injuries\/\">Severe burns<\/a> if fuel ignites or fire spreads through the cabin\n\u2013 <a href=\"\/resources\/amputation-injuries\/\">Amputations<\/a> from crush injuries or thermal damage<\/p>\n<p>Serious injuries may require medical care, rehabilitation, assistive devices, and time away from work. Follow your doctors&#8217; care. Each person&#8217;s medical needs depend on his or her medical records.<\/p>\n<p>Families may also face the loss of a loved one. Florida&#8217;s wrongful death statute says that a person who would have been liable for an injury may be liable for damages. This applies when the injury results in death.<\/p>\n<p>Surviving family members may be able to pursue a claim for losses that the law allows.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Florida&#8217;s Statute of Limitations for Airplane Crash Claims<\/h2>\n<p>Time matters in airplane crash cases. A statute of limitations is a legal deadline for filing a lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Florida sets filing deadlines by statute. Filing deadlines depend on the type of claim and the facts of each case. The period that applies to your claim depends on its type.<\/p>\n<p>Missing a filing deadline may prevent a claim from going forward. Exceptions and other conditions may apply. Contact CHG Personal Injury Lawyers promptly.<\/p>\n<p>Where a crash happened can affect which law and which court apply. Timing questions are best raised early.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-color has-text-color\">Have questions about what happened?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask our team directly.

Stat. \u00a7 768.81(6)<\/a>). Florida reduces damages by a person&#8217;s percentage of fault.<\/p>\n<p>Contributory fault may reduce the amount awarded, depending on the facts of each case. It does not bar recovery, subject to subsection (6).<\/p>\n<p>Under Florida Statutes \u00a7 768.81(6), in negligence actions filed after March 24, 2023, a claimant whose own fault is found to be greater than 50 percent of his or her own harm generally may not recover damages. This provision does not apply to medical negligence actions under chapter 766, and how it applies depends on the facts of each case and applicable Florida law. Other exceptions may apply.<\/p>\n<p>Whether a passenger&#8217;s conduct contributed to an accident is a question of fact. A judge or jury decides questions of fact based on the evidence. Comparative fault may be relevant on charter flights and private planes (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0700-0799\/0768\/Sections\/0768.81.html\">Fla.

The second is in the territory of a State Party in which the passenger had his or her principal and permanent residence at the time of the accident, if the carrier operates services for the carriage of passengers by air to or from that territory, either on its own aircraft or on another carrier&#8217;s aircraft under a commercial agreement, and conducts its business of carriage of passengers there.
