Plane Crash Lawyers
Airplanes
should be designed and built to remain in the air. They should be properly
serviced and maintained at all times. However, product defects, improper
maintenance, and pilot error can cause crashes. When an accident does happen,
aviation disasters demand immediate investigation.
Our use of highly
qualified experts, and our understanding of aviation science, give us a unique
perspective on the cause of any plane crash. In addition, our experience in
aviation accident litigation and creative legal strategies allow us to present
persuasive claims for full and fair compensation for accident victims and their
families.
Questions You Should Ask An
Attorney
What to Do Following a Plane Crash
Complex Cases
Aviation disaster
cases require familiarity with Federal Aviation Administration guidelines and
other federal laws, meteorological data, cockpit voice recorders, flight data
recorders and pilot training issues. These complex legal matters should be
handled by a lawyer with specific training and experience in aviation law. Our
experience in this complex area of the law includes:
- Bill and Carol were looking forward to retirement.
Bill concluded his business trip and boarded a plane to return to Columbus.
The inexperienced pilot encountered icing conditions as he neared
Columbus. He lost control of the plane and crashed. Bill survived the
crash but heroically stayed in the plane to help others. The subsequent
fire killed Bill. We gathered a team of experts from pilots to flight
controllers to prepare the case. We aggressively pursued the airline and
completed a substantial settlement in a short period of time.
- A small plane crashed in the hills of Georgia. The
family of a passenger contacted us. We immediately gathered our team of
experts and secured the crash site and wreckage. Eventually we determined
that pilot error was a cause of the crash and settled the case with the
insurance company.
Damages
A victim and the
victim's family may be entitled to recover damages for: hospital and medical
