What are the different types of Aviation Accidents?

Aviation accident law includes both major commercial air carriers and non-commercial aircraft, including small airplanes, charter flights, large business jets, pleasure crafts, hang gliders, and helicopters. Our law firm also represents members of our Armed Forces in military aviation accidents.

The most common causes of aviation accidents include:

• Pilot error
• Manufacturing defects
• Equipment failure
• Structural or design problems
• Violation of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations
• Negligence of Flight Service Station employees
• Negligence of Federal Air Traffic Controllers
• Negligence in a third party’s selection of a carrier
• Failure to maintain or repair the aircraft or its components
• Failure to fuel the aircraft

What to do After an Aviation Accident

It is imperative that you contact an attorney skilled in the representation of plaintiffs in aviation lawsuits immediately following an aviation accident. An aviation attorney can assist you in understanding the intricacies of filing an aviation lawsuit. In addition, they can help you to understand the cost of pursuing these types of claims. Our law firm does not charge a fee until we win your case.

DO NOT SIGN ANY PAPERWORK!!!

It is important to remember that you will generally be contacted by a representative of the airline involved in the aviation accident. The representative from the airline may be a defense attorney or somebody from an insurance company that is contacting you to offer a generous settlement.

Please be advised, the airlines and their representatives do not have you or your families best interest in mind when contacting you. Often is the case that the settlement offer is well below what could be expected if the case went to court.

DO NOT SIGN ANY PAPERWORK: It is absolutely vital that you not sign any document or accept any settlement offer without first seeking the advice of an aviation attorney (read above paragraph)
