Aviation Accidents
". . . often avoidable tragedies that result from negligent acts or ommissions, or from the failure of a defective part."

Atlanta Auto Accident Attorney


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.
