Aviation workers, including pilots, crew members, maintenance staff, and airport personnel, can file a lawsuit if they are injured due to negligence, unsafe working conditions, or any other valid reason. This might include incidents involving:
faulty equipment;
inadequate safety protocols;
dangerous aviation products; or even
negligence from employers or third parties.
Workers' compensation may cover some aspects of these claims, but in cases of serious negligence or third-party liability, additional legal action may be necessary. If you're an aviation worker, a Morgan and Morgan aviation accident lawyer can help you understand your rights after an aviation accident and the potential for a lawsuit beyond workers' compensation claims.
