If you or a member of your family was injured in an aviation accident, you may be eligible to obtain compensation with the help of Leslie Duberstein Glenn, P.A.

In cases of death, families rely on Leslie Duberstein Glenn and her team to file a wrongful death suit. Compensation would then cover funeral expenses, medical treatments, future lost income, and much more.
Who was responsible for the aviation accident?
It is quite possible that all of the details surrounding the aviation crash are not known to you. Those responsible for it happening may be hiding that information from the victims and the public at large. This would be to avoid ethical and financial responsibility for the accident. Leslie Duberstein Glenn and her team are seasoned aviation accident attorneys. Florida residents turn to them for their expertise. They know how to investigate the circumstances of the crash to determine liability when the victims are at a loss.
Here’s a short list of possible liable parties who could be held responsible if that is truly the case:
- The plane or plane parts’ manufacturer
- The fuel supplier
- The airline company
- The pilot and co-pilot
- Another airline company if this was a two-plane collision
- Air traffic or ground control personnel
- Private Ownership of Aircraft
If the aircraft involved was owned by a private individual that person likely had insurance. Unfortunately, their insurance policy may have provided only limited coverage. That means that despite the severity of your injuries, or the possible loss of your loved one, you would only be eligible to receive a certain amount of compensation. The compensation award might be far less than your actual damages. However, with the help of an aviation accident attorney, Leslie Duberstein Glenn and her team might have alternate avenues to recover your damages. In addition to your own private insurance coverage, your attorney may be able to file a civil lawsuit against the aircraft owner and seek payment via their assets.
Commercial Ownership of Aircraft
In cases where the aircraft was owned and operated by a commercial enterprise, insurance coverage will likely be far more substantial than that of a private owner. However, the caveat in this scenario is that the aircraft will have deep pockets and their own fleet of attorneys at their beck and call. You will not do well representing yourself in a civil suit.
