Aviation accident law is necessarily an exception to the fact that Personal
Injury Law - a tort law - is regulated primarily by
individual jurisdictions - generally the states. The
FAA (Federal Aviation Agency) and the NTSB (National Transportation
Safety Board) have many standards and regulations in place
which supercede state law.
The tragic Korean Airlines 007
disaster, which occurred on the high seas, spotlighted a
Federal law as it deprived families of full recovery of
damages because the airplane crash occurred in the ocean
outside the territorial limits of the United States. A Federal
Admiralty Law called The Death On The High Seas Act (DOHSA)
limits the heirs' monetary damage recovery by only allowing
recovery for lost support. If a fatal crash occurs within
a state's territorial waters, or on land, state law will
generally allow damages for medical & funeral expenses,
loss of victim's anticipated earnings in the future until
time of retirement or death, loss of pension benefits (or
some inheritances) caused by the victim's death, pain and
suffering or mental anguish to the survivors, loss of care,
protection or companionship to the survivors. (In
1988, President Reagan extended the territorial sovereignty
of the United States from 3 miles to 12 miles, from the
shore of the U.S., its territories and possessions.)
A civil wrong, or a tort, is recognized
by law as grounds for a lawsuit. Sometimes these wrongs
are considered crimes and punishable with imprisonment,
but the primary aim of tort law is to provide relief through
compensation to injured parties for the damages incurred.
Among the types of recoverable damages are: loss of earnings
capacity, pain and suffering, and reasonable medical expenses.
They include both present and future expected losses.
