Types of Compensation

Common Causes of Aviation Accidents

Aviation accidents can occur for various reasons, often involving multiple contributing factors. Some of the most common causes of aviation accidents include.

Pilot Error

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.

Mechanical Failure

Faulty aircraft parts can cause crashes. Identifying if defects, poor maintenance, or design flaws are to blame is crucial.

Maintenance Negligence

Regular maintenance is essential for flight safety. Neglect by maintenance crews or airlines can cause accidents and lead to liability.

Types of Compensation You May Be Entitled To

Our experienced legal team will help ensure you receive all forms of compensation available for your specific case.

Medical Expenses

Coverage for all medical costs including emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and future medical needs related to your accident.

Lost Wages

We pursue compensation for lost income, employment benefits, and diminished earning potential following your injury.

Pain and Suffering

You may be entitled to damages for physical pain, emotional distress, and decreased quality of life resulting from the incident.

Proven Results

In cases of extreme negligence or intentional misconduct, we pursue additional compensation to secure justice and deter future harm.

Essential Steps To Take After an Aviation Accident

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.

Ensure Safety First

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.

Document the Accident Scene

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.

Cooperate with Investigators

NTSB and FAA will investigate. Give honest facts; don’t speculate or admit blame. Keep a personal written record of the incident.

Seek Prompt Medical Attention

Aviation accidents may cause serious hidden injuries. See a doctor promptly and follow all treatments. Keep records of medical visits, treatments, and expenses.

Contact an Aviation Accident Lawyer

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.
