Re: Lawguru Post
Generally speaking a parent would not have any legal rights to a recovery of their own when the child is an adult.
In some states, I believe that an adult can recover for loss of consortium when a child is injured, but that refers to minor children.
If your son was injured in an helicopter crash that was pilot error, then he needs an excellent attorney with experience in aviation crashes. I do not have that experience, but work with some who do. Please feel free to contact me for some direction. 1-800-838-0800
An attorney is crucial particularly in Aviation crash cases because of the high level of investigation that is needed and the quality of the defense counsel.
