Q: I suffered a herniated disc in my neck when a large carry-on bag fell out of the overhead compartment on my plane while in flight.  Can I sue Northwest Airlines for my injury?

A: You do have an airplane injury claim against the airlines for the failure to properly secure the overhead compartment above you.  These cases are controlled by federal aviation laws and it is important to hire an aviation lawyer immediately after your accident.

Testimonials

I cannot thank Daniel Buckfire enough for helping in my No-Fault Insurance claim against State Farm Insurance Company. I am a quadriplegic as a result of a car accident and my insurance company denied me a portion of my insurance benefits. I contacted Daniel and he was able to get those benefits paid quickly for me.
