THERE IS NO COMPLETE, IMPLIED, OR FIELD FEDERAL PREEMPTION OF STATE LAW PERSONAL INJURY/ WRONGFUL DEATH NEGLIGENCE or PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS IN GENERAL AVIATION CASES

摘要

In recent litigation against general aviation aircraft and component manufacturers, arguments have been made that there is complete, implied, or field federal preemption of a plaintiff's state law personal injury and wrongful death claims involving a general aviation aircraft. Abdullah v. American Airlines, Inc., an anomaly commercial airline case discussing operational services, is being used as a basis for this preemption argument.
