AVIATION ACCIDENT LAWYER

Every day, countless people board airplanes across the nation with the assumption that they will arrive safely to their destination. Strict regulations by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) back these assumptions, since everyone involved in the operation of an aircraft is responsible for the safety of its passengers.

Every day, however, negligence in aviation leads to accidents that leave victims with catastrophic injuries or tragically end their lives. After a plane crash or in-flight injury, you need support. We provide that in the form of top engineers and experts who will investigate your case and attorneys who are well-versed in aviation law who can defend you. That is one of the only factors that will allow you to fully recover from the crash or accident.

If you or a loved one has been in an aviation accident, the last thing you want to do is get tangled in insurance and settlement negotiations. Our expert team of aviation accident lawyers has your back. Let our firm be a strong voice for you against aviation entities of all sizes, from corporate airline giants to smaller aviation companies. We’re equipped and ready to fight for the compensation you deserve.

CAUSES AND COMPENSATION FOR AVIATION ACCIDENTS

Commercial airline travel is common and, fortunately, accidents by this mode of transportation are rare. However, when accidents do happen, they cause severe personal injuries and death. An in-flight accident is not limited to a plane crash; it could also include injuries sustained on-board due to the negligence of the airline company.

Companies that own and operate aircraft are required by strict federal laws to keep their plane safe for their patrons. When these large aviation corporations cut corners or employ workers who engage in negligent conduct, they can be held liable for the injuries and fatalities that their actions cause.

Aircraft accidents result from aviation negligence. Below are the most common accident factors:

• Improper maintenance
• Manufacturing mistakes, including faulty equipment and structural or design problems
• Violations of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations
• Negligence by federal air traffic controllers
• Pilot / Operator inattention
• Miscommunication
• Pilot error

The negligent conduct of a pilot, employee, or corporation can result in the sudden and catastrophic injury of passengers — or worse, the wrongful death of patrons on the aircraft. In the case of a personal injury incurred from an airplane accident, you may be entitled to compensation for the following expenses or damages:

• Medical costs, including hospital bills, ambulance bills, and medication or other costs of treatment
• Loss of wages
• Loss of future wages
• Damages related to physical and mental trauma
• Loss of quality of life
• Wrongful death penalties

According to data from U.S. Health Information Systems, injuries sustained from plane crashes result in around 1000 hospitalizations per year, and the most common injury from aviation accidents is lower limb fracture. Plane crashes are the most deadly type of accident leading to personal injury, and to receive the full compensation you deserve, you need a strong, experienced lawyer on your side. If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident like this, it's time to get the compensation you deserve. Our law firm is equipped and prepared to defend you.
