Plane Crash Survivors Will NOT Receive Compensation

In Kentucky, a federal judge has ruled that family members of the 49 people killed in a Comair plane crash cannot collect monetary damages for the loss of companionship.

U.S. District Judge Karl Forester this week dismissed several claims filed by some of the estates of the victims of the August 2006 crash. He cited a controversial Kentucky law that stipulates family members are not entitled to compensation for the loss of a spouse, adult child or parent of an adult child. They can still sue for loss of enjoyment of life and pain and suffering.

If a loved one of yours has suffered a wrongful death in the state of Pennsylvania, you may be entitled to compensation. Only an experienced wrongful death attorney such as Pomerantz Perlberger & Lewis can advise you of your legal rights. Please contact our office today to schedule your initial consultaton.
