The recent midair collision between American Airlines Flight 5342 and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River has left many families in mourning. The tragic accident claimed the lives of all 67 people on board.
In an interview with investigative reporter Scott Taylor, Attorney Allan Siegel of Chaikin, Sherman, Cammarata & Siegel, P.C., discusses how grieving families can navigate their legal rights following such catastrophic events.
Allan stresses that families should focus on their grieving process first and take the necessary time to support one another. While there is no immediate requirement to engage legal counsel, it is important to understand legal rights and be aware of any deadlines for pursuing wrongful death claims or aviation accident litigation. Consulting with an experienced aviation accident attorney at the right time can help families navigate the complexities of the case and seek justice for their loved ones.
