Airplane
accidents are avoidable tragedies. Airplane accidents are
often avoidable tragedies that result from negligent acts
or ommissions, or from the failure of a defective part.
A
party responsible for an airplane accident must be held accountable.
Aviation disasters demand immediate investigation. We combine
scientific investigation with creative legal strategies to
determine the cause of an aviation crash. This enables us
to pursue effectively our mission of recovering full and fair
compensation for aviation crash victims and their families.
Aviation
disaster cases require familiarity with Federal Aviation Administration
guidelines and other federal laws, meteorological reports,
cockpit voice recorders, flight data recorders and pilot training
issues.
What
To Do Following a Plane Crash
- Have
your own reconstruction team quickly review physical evidence;
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) does an
excellent job in its investigation, but you and your lawyer
are usually not allowed to participate in the investigation
Call the NTSB and ask to be informed of any investigation
developments;
- Obtain
names, addresses and telephone numbers of all witnesses.
Photograph the accident scene and any visible injuries (cuts,
bruises). Professional photographs are preferable;
- Talk
to no one about the crash without the consent of your personal
lawyer. Sign nothing without consulting a lawyer. You may
expect airline and insurance company representatives to
contact you immediately following the crash; and
- Obtain
and keep receipts for all expenses relating to the disaster.
Damages
which a victim and the victim's family may be entitled to
recover include:
- hospital
and medical expenses;
- both
past and future lost earnings;
- both
past and future permanent physical disability, such as a
limp, scars, loss of a limb emotional distress, such as
depression and anxiety grief and emotional suffering caused
by the death of a loved one loss of love and companionship
caused by the death of a loved one damage or destruction
of property physical pain and suffering loss of enjoyment
of life.
