Can the U.S. Federal Government be held liable in a plane crash or otheraviation accident?

 

A:

Yes, and it is often found to be at least partially at fault.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) maintains and operates the Air Traffic Control (ATC) system for the United States.  The FFA is responsible for controlling air traffic throughout the country.  In cases of mid-air collisions or runway incursions,  it should be determined whether the ATC met all of their duties to the public.  If the negligence of ATC personnel caused or contributed to the accident, the ATC, FAA and the Federal Government can be held liable for any damages that result.
