Available Compensation for Aviation Accident Victims
An aviation accident can lead to serious financial consequences for victims and their families. Medical bills for emergency care, surgeries, and long-term treatment can be overwhelming.
Many victims also lose income due to time away from work or permanent disability. In cases of fatal accidents, families may face funeral costs and the loss of a primary source of financial support. The emotional toll is high, and the financial stress only adds to it.
As a victim injured in an aviation accident, you can claim a wide range of compensatory damages, including:
- Medical bills
- Future medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Lost wages
- Lost earning potential
- Any property damage

Expect a Detailed Aviation Accident Investigation
In the U.S., the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) usually leads the investigation into aviation accidents. They often work with local agencies and, in some cases, international authorities, especially if the flight is international or involves passengers from other countries.
If the aircraft was registered in the U.S., built by an American company, or carried U.S. citizens, the NTSB may also be involved in accidents that happen outside the country. In addition to these official investigations, lawyers representing victims will often conduct their own investigations to support legal claims and seek compensation.
Aviation accidents often result in serious injuries, loss of life, and complex legal and insurance claims. Because of the severe impact, investigations into what happened and who is responsible are usually detailed and take time.

Please accept our sincere condolences for your loss. If you lost a family member in a fatal aviation accident, we will help you protect the memory of your loved one by holding the at-fault party accountable and recover compensation so you can build a better future for your family.
Available wrongful death damages include:
- Loss of the victim’s care, support, and protection
- Loss of the help and services the person gave to their family
- Loss of a parent’s love, teaching, and guidance
- Emotional pain and suffering
- Medical and funeral costs paid by family members
- Medical and funeral costs paid by the estate
- The money and benefits the deceased likely would have earned and saved if they had lived, which would have become part of their estate
- Income, benefits, and other pay the person lost between the time they were hurt and when they passed away
In Florida, only the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate can file a wrongful death lawsuit, not the family members directly. This person, sometimes called the executor, files the case for the benefit of the estate and surviving relatives. When filing, the personal representative must include a list of all possible beneficiaries.
Florida’s Statute of Limitations for Lawsuits
The Florida statute of limitations sets a deadline for filing a lawsuit. For most personal injury cases, you generally have two years to file a claim. A two-year deadline also applies to most wrongful death claims.
If you miss this deadline, the court will likely dismiss your case, and you may lose your right to seek compensation. Some exceptions may apply, such as cases involving minors or hidden injuries, but those are rare. To protect your rights, speak with our Alva aviation accident attorney as soon as possible after an accident or injury.
