What are the Rights of a Victim of an Aviation Crash?

The rights of a victim of an aviation crash (or the survivors of such a victim) have varying rights depending upon the state in which the crash occurred, whether the crash occurred into federal or state waters and whether the crash occurred on a platform fixed to the seabed. These rights can vary dramatically as a result of the location and/or cause of the crash. You should contact an attorney with experience in handling aviation matters if you or a member of your family is the victim of an aviation crash.
