Aviation accidents can occur for various reasons, often involving multiple contributing factors. Some of the most common causes of aviation accidents include.
Human error is a leading cause of aviation accidents, often due to mistakes in takeoff, landing, or flight maneuvers caused by fatigue, poor training, or miscommunication.
Faulty aircraft parts can cause crashes. Identifying if defects, poor maintenance, or design flaws are to blame is crucial.
Regular maintenance is essential for flight safety. Neglect by maintenance crews or airlines can cause accidents and lead to liability.
Our experienced legal team will help ensure you receive all forms of compensation available for your specific case.
Coverage for all medical costs including emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and future medical needs related to your accident.
We pursue compensation for lost income, employment benefits, and diminished earning potential following your injury.
You may be entitled to damages for physical pain, emotional distress, and decreased quality of life resulting from the incident.
In cases of extreme negligence or intentional misconduct, we pursue additional compensation to secure justice and deter future harm.
Aviation accidents are rare but devastating. Taking the right steps immediately after an incident is crucial to protecting your well-being, preserving critical evidence, and securing your legal rights.
Move to a safe location if possible and assist others in evacuating the area. Check for injuries and call emergency responders. Even if you feel uninjured, seek medical assistance.
Photograph aircraft, damage, surroundings, and injuries. Record video if safe. Get names and contacts of passengers, crew, and witnesses. Note time, place, weather, and unusual events.
NTSB and FAA will investigate. Give honest facts; don’t speculate or admit blame. Keep a personal written record of the incident.
Aviation accidents may cause serious hidden injuries. See a doctor promptly and follow all treatments. Keep records of medical visits, treatments, and expenses.
Aviation law is complex, involving airlines, manufacturers, and agencies. A skilled lawyer helps protect your rights and pursue full compensation. Don’t sign papers or speak to insurers or airlines without a lawyer.
The time limit varies by state but is usually between one to three years from the date of the injury. It’s important to file as soon as possible to avoid missing deadlines.
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, disability benefits, and other related costs depending on the specifics of your case.
Knapp Moss works exclusively on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and the firm takes a percentage of any settlement or award. We don’t make any money until we win your case and get you paid.
Case duration varies depending on complexity, insurance negotiations, and court schedules. Some cases settle within months, while others may take years.
