TO OUR COMPANY
Even though in-flight injuries are rare when
compared to car accident injuries, air travel
injuries do occur. Most in-flight injuries occur
during air turbulence, the most common cause of
injury to air travelers. In fact, there are an
estimated 60 injuries each year that occur due to
air turbulence in the U.S. alone. While
in-flight injuries can range from broken bones
and minor head wounds to serious head injuries,
most people dont realize that just because
youre flying a commercial plane doesnt mean you
wont get compensated for your injuries.

What are your legal rights if you suffer an
in-flight injury? Can the airline or any of its
employees be held responsible for your
damages? In order to determine who is
responsible for the damages and injuries in your
particular case, its important to consult an
in-flight injury attorney. Legal rules that
apply to in-flight injuries can be quite
complicated and only an experienced lawyer can
help you obtain compensation for your injuries,
medical bills, pain, and suffering.

Who Should Be Held Liable For Your In-flight
Injuries?

TITLE
Add your text

• If the airline failed to provide a high standard
  of care, it can be sued for negligence if you
  sustained injuries on one of its planes.
• The airline can be held responsible for your
  in-flight injuries if it failed to prevent
  injuries from happening because of
• improper operation, maintenance or inspection of
  the airplane
• inadequate loading and boarding of the plane
• overloading of the aircraft
• failure to provide a safe passage to the
  exit/restroom while en route
• failure to inform passengers of the incoming air
  turbulence and/or the absence of the brace for
  impact command
• not altering or delaying the flight if weather
  conditions are not safe for the flight.

The airline can also be held responsible for
other mismanagement or misconduct activities.
Thats why its vital to consult an experienced
in-flight injury attorney to investigate your
particular case and conclude whether or not you
can get compensated for your injuries and damages.

The Dos And Donts Of Seeking Compensation For
In-flight Injuries
While the airline and its employees are
responsible for the maintenance and inspection of
the aircraft, it cannot be held liable for
unusual or unexpected defects in the
plane. Earlier in October, Air France diverted
its flight to Los Angeles to an airport in Canada
after the aircrafts four engines sustained
severe damages. While the investigation was
underway as of the time of this article, the
damage could be an unexpected defect that was
impossible to detect during the
inspection. Also, the airline cannot be held
accountable for consequences from an unexpected
in-flight accident or an act of God.

Moreover, the injury itself is never enough to be
eligible to file a lawsuit and get compensated
for your injuries. You must collect solid
evidence prior to filing a lawsuit for
negligence. Call JML Law at 818-610-8800 to
consult a well-versed Los Angeles personal injury
attorney about your particular case. While you
probably dont want to waste countless days or
even weeks to check (and double-check) all the
information regarding the aircrafts pre-flight
maintenance, operation, inspection, loading,
boarding and other factors that could result in
your injury, theyre certainly motivated to do it
on your behalf.
