Miami Airplane Accident Lawyers
Pursue Justice & Compensation
Statistically, traveling by airplane is significantly safer than any other transportation method. In fact, it’s estimated that there is only 1 fatal accident per every 16 million commercial passenger flights. However, when that 1 fatal accident occurs, it usually leads to catastrophic passenger injuries and numerous fatalities. There’s a reason airplane crashes always make the headlines.
Determining liability in an airplane accident case can be difficult, and outcomes are often dependent on the specific circumstances of the crash. At Cardenas, Singer & Associates, our Miami airplane accident attorneys have the necessary experience and resources to investigate the incident, determine the causes of the crash, and hold the negligent parties responsible for any injuries and wrongful deaths.

Determining Negligence
The success of a personal injury lawsuit often depends on a legal team’s ability to establish which negligent parties are at fault. While hazardous weather conditions and bird strikes occasionally occur, most airplane crashes can be contributed to preventable human errors. In many cases, airline companies either knew or should have known about the potential hazards and ultimately failed to prevent injuries and fatalities.
Negligent parties may include, but are not limited to:
- Pilots
- Manufacturers
- Repair crews
- Air traffic controllers
Plaintiffs are usually successful in recovering compensation from airline companies and their insurance carriers. Even in circumstances where human negligence isn’t directly responsible, it’s easier for an airline to settle claims than to fight a plaintiff’s legal team in court.
If your claim is successful, you may be awarded the following damages:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
Per the Montreal Convention treaty, airlines are prohibited from contesting a compensation claim if the damages are less than 100,000 SDR, or $150,000. However, if a plaintiff wishes to pursue damages exceeding $150,000, then the airline company can legally contest the claim and prove the injury was not due to negligence.
