COMPLEX CASES, SIMPLIFIED

Airplane and helicopter accidents are complex cases with many parties involved, such as the aircraft company, insurance entities, pilots & employees, passengers and more. This is especially true if the flight was conducted for offshore work, as the offshore company for whom the victim was going out to work and the employment company of the victim also become involved. In addition, aviation regulations and the FAA will be involved in the investigation.

Never settle for legal representation that isn’t well-versed in the complexities of aviation law. Our team of aviation accident attorneys has years of experience handling these types of cases. Our extensive case background in aviation and maritime law has led us to develop relationships with leading aviation experts, and we’re ready to fight for you.

Luckily, commercial airline accidents are rare in America, especially when compared to car and truck accidents. Still, weather conditions, manufacturing errors, faulty equipment and human error can all result in devastating consequences for commercial airline passengers. Because of the number of people affected in commercial airplane accidents, these cases often become class-action lawsuits against the airline company, manufacturers or pilot.

Helicopter accidents are often the result of pilot negligence, mechanical error, poor weather or any combination of these factors. For maritime employees working offshore, helicopters are something you have to interact with often, and you should be able to feel confident that they will safely carry you to and from the mainland. When helicopter accidents do happen, you need legal representation that is knowledgeable of both aviation and maritime law.

According to the National Travel and Safety Board (NTSB), private planes are about 200 times more dangerous than commercial aircraft. Lack of training and emergency protocols, more lenient maintenance regulations and inexperienced pilots can all lead to devastating results for private aircraft passengers.

Air ambulance operators perform at an extremely elevated degree of pressure compared to commercial aircraft pilots. High-tension environments, distractions and risky maneuvers can all contribute to an increased likelihood of human error and crashes.

Because they are not as heavily regulated as commercial airlines, charter planes — such as private jets, business jets and air taxis — are more susceptible to crashes and similar incidents. If you’re involved in a charter plane or jet crash, you need a team of aviation accident attorneys on your side.
