Who Is Liable for Injuries in a Florida Aviation Accident? | Key FAQ
Aviation accidents spark a key question: who caused the injuries…

Insurance companies often deny claims or offer low settlements, adding financial strain to your pain and suffering.

The Heavy Toll of Aviation Accidents
Aviation accidents, unlike a car accident or auto accident, often lead to catastrophic outcomes, including fatalities or severe injuries. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reports that over 70% of airplane crashes result from human error, such as pilot error or air traffic control mistakes. Victims in Tampa and St. Petersburg face overwhelming medical bills and emotional trauma.
- Physical and Emotional Pain: Survivors may need extensive care or therapy.
- Financial Burdens: Medical bills and lost wages pile up quickly.
- Legal Challenges: Navigating claims without a personal injury lawyer is daunting.
Our legal team investigates plane crashes thoroughly to hold responsible parties accountable.
Why Airplane Accident Claims Get Denied
Insurance companies, commercial airlines, and aircraft manufacturers often work to avoid liability. Common causes like mechanical failure or controller error may indicate negligence, but powerful legal teams shift blame. Florida’s statute of limitations—two years for personal injury and two years for wrongful death—adds urgency to filing claims.
- Missing Evidence: Claims may fail without NTSB or FAA reports.
- Blaming Victims: Insurers may cite weather conditions to reduce payouts.
- Tight Deadlines: Tampa victims must act within Florida’s time limits.
Our aviation accident lawyers analyze Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) data and maintenance records to prove fault.
Compensation for Tampa Aviation Victims
Victims and loved ones may be entitled to damages for various losses. The FAA reported 1,246 general aviation accidents in 2023, with many linked to mechanical issues or human error. Our Tampa personal injury lawyer ensures your claim covers all impacts.
- Medical Bills: Covers hospital stays, surgeries, and ongoing care.
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for emotional and physical distress.
- Wrongful Death: Includes funeral costs and loss of support for family.
We negotiate aggressively with insurance companies or pursue airline accidents in court to secure fair compensation.
