Do Commercial Airlines Owe a Special Duty of Care to Passengers?

Commercial airlines for hire owe a special duty to passengers that is a stricter duty than a private airplane, for instance, your friend owns, when you’re traveling throughout the United States or the world. Commercial carriers have a higher maintenance standard, they have a higher piloting standard, and your lawyer should be able to discuss intelligently which standards have been met, and which have not been, following an aviation disaster.
