Aviation Class Action Lawsuits

Illinois Aviation Class Action Attorneys

Aviation class action lawsuits come in many different types. Perhaps the most common types of class action lawsuit against an airline are those that emerge from aviation accidents involving injuries and/or deaths. In these cases, passengers and surviving family members often sign onto a class action because of the complexities and expenses of bringing an individual personal injury case.

Types of Aviation Class Action Suits

In addition to those suits stemming from aviation accidents, there are also a number of other types of common aviation class action suits. These include:

• Discrimination -- Usually involving either passengers or employees
• Employment Practices -- Illegal hiring or firing of employees
• Unfair Pricing -- Charges and fees imposed in bad faith
• Sexual Harassment -- Usually involving inappropriate interactions between employees
• Unfair Policies -- Such as baggage compensation policies or flight cancellation policies.
