The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) estimates that over the next two decades, the airline industry will double in size. As commercial carriers, crew, and manufacturers work to meet the growing demand for air travel, passengers can only hope that aircraft has been properly designed, constructed, maintained, and operated.  Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Crashes and other aviation accidents are occurring at an alarming rate, leaving many dead, disfigured, paralyzed, disabled, or psychologically scarred as well as economically battered. There are many laws and regulations on the books to ensure the safety of those traveling in airplanes and helicopters. For many years now, The Maher Law Firm has proven a resource and compassionate adviser to victims who have suffered catastrophic injury and the surviving family members of those who have lost their lives in avoidable accidents involving commercial or private aircraft.
