Aviation Accident Attorney in South Florida

Serving Victims in Hollywood, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Throughout South Florida

Aviation accidents are rare—but when they happen, the consequences are often catastrophic. Whether involving commercial airlines, private planes, or helicopters, these incidents can result in life-altering injuries or the tragic loss of life. When aviation negligence occurs, victims and families need a trusted legal advocate with experience, clarity, and compassion.

I’m Mark Schiffrin, a personal injury attorney based in Hollywood, Florida, serving victims across Broward County, Miami-Dade County, and Palm Beach County. For over 35 years, I have represented individuals and families affected by serious and fatal accidents, including those involving air travel. My goal is to ensure that your voice is heard and that you receive the justice and compensation you deserve.

Understanding Aviation Accidents

Aviation accident cases are complex and typically involve multiple layers of investigation, including oversight from federal agencies like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Determining liability requires experience in handling the legal nuances associated with aviation law and personal injury.

Common Types of Aviation Accidents:

• Commercial airline crashes
• Private plane accidents
• Helicopter crashes
• Runway collisions or ground crew accidents
• Pilot error or air traffic control mistakes
• Mechanical failure or maintenance negligence
• Injuries from turbulence or in-flight incidents

Each case is unique and often involves multiple parties, including airlines, manufacturers, pilots, maintenance providers, or even government agencies.

Who Can Be Held Liable in Aviation Accident Cases?

Liability in aviation accidents may rest with one or several parties depending on the nature and cause of the incident:

• Pilots – Errors in judgment, miscommunication, or intoxication can lead to tragic outcomes.
• Airlines – May be held responsible for poor training, negligence in hiring, or failure to maintain aircraft.
• Aircraft manufacturers – If a design flaw or defective component contributed to the crash.
• Maintenance crews – Failure to properly inspect or repair aircraft.
• Air traffic controllers – Negligent communication or mismanagement of airspace.

My role is to investigate every aspect of your case and hold the responsible parties accountable.

Compensation for Aviation Accident Victims

Victims and surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses and long-term care
• Lost income or future earnings
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress and trauma
• Wrongful death damages (funeral costs, loss of companionship, etc.)
• Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence

These claims are time-sensitive, and early investigation is critical due to the complexity and potential federal involvement in aviation cases.
