Hi Guys,
I just read an very informative web site about liability.
http://www.aviationlawcorp.com/content/liabhomeblt.html
Most interesting is the following statement under;
http://www.aviationlawcorp.com/content/ownerliability.htm
PERSONAL LIABILITY OF "OWNER-OPERATORS" IN AIR CRASH LITIGATION
First of all, recognize that under most states' laws, if a person is
negligent and that negligence causes injuries, the individual has personal
liability "exposure." Thus, if an individual owner of an aircraft has
"control" of the aircraft and negligently maintains or "operates" the
aircraft so as to cause injury, the owner may be liable. Notice, I am
presently discussing an owner who is also an "operator" such that the
"owner-operator" acts as pilot in command of an aircraft or controls its
use. As we will see, there is an important distinction in liability law
between an "owner operator" and a "non-operator owner". (The FAA uses a much
broader definition of "operator" and doesn't make as clear a distinction
between operators and owners).
FYI
