Aviation Accidents

The Federal Aviation Administration has projected a steady increase in air travel within the next quarter of a century. Although air transportation is generally considered a safe travel option, the increase poses a heightened risk of aviation accidents, which most often result in fatal injuries.

Aviation accident law provides provisions for victims of major and minor aircraft accidents to receive compensation for their injuries. These include accidents involving small planes, helicopters, commercial aircraft, and others. Whether for negligence, product liability, or a combination of both, individuals are entitled to compensation for aviation accidents attributable to someone else. Common causes of aviation accidents include faulty equipment, structural issues, pilot error, and negligence.

Aviation litigation is very complex and should be handled only by attorneys with experience and expertise in aviation accident law.
