LaGuardia Runway Collision: Napoli Shkolnik Investigating Claims on Behalf of Injured Passengers

March 31, 2026

Hunter J. Shkolnik, Partner of Napoli Shkolnik, appeared on LiveNOW from FOX and FOX 5 New York to discuss the deadly LaGuardia Airport runway collision, in which an Air Canada Express CRJ-900 struck a fire truck while landing on March 23, 2026, killing both pilots and injuring more than 40 passengers.  Hunter addressed the central questions emerging from the investigation: what caused the crash, who bears responsibility, and what victims and families should know.   Liability in cases like this rarely falls on a single party. Air traffic control, the Port Authority, and the emergency services provider will each face scrutiny.  Napoli Shkolnik is investigating claims on behalf of those injured in the crash. The firm's aviation practice has decades of experience handling these cases, and a core part of that work is cutting through the competing liability arguments that defendants raise to deflect responsibility. Victims should prioritize medical care, but early evidence preservation and witness access matter enormously in aviation litigation.  Watch Hunter's appearances:  LiveNOW from FOX: https://www.livenowfox.com/video/fmc-glzv2hf4m1c1ycu9   FOX 5 New York: https://www.fox5ny.com/video/fmc-euaiqbuk851z3t5h
