Can You Sue Aircraft Pilots?

In the event of a plane crash where the pilot is working on behalf of an employer, then you must direct your lawsuit against the employer. However, if the pilot of the aircraft was flying on their own will, then your lawsuit should be filed against the pilot directly. You can file this lawsuit if you experienced damages because of the crash, both economic and non-economic.
