Aviation Injuries
Aviation accidents are some of the most challenging and difficult cases to handle as a personal injury attorney. They almost always involve extremely serious injuries or deaths, and determining the cause or causes of the accident can be quite complex. In fact, an airplane crash can and often does have multiple interrelated causes – pilot error, faulty maintenance, poor or erroneous instructions from air traffic controllers, weather issues, and even manufacturing defects in some of the component parts that make up the aircraft. Questions of where to sue (jurisdiction) and who to bring suit against (potential defendants) are also very often not clear cut or obvious. Defendants can include pilots, charter companies, mechanics, airlines, manufacturers, contractors, and other service providers. And once filed, these cases are quite challenging to litigate and take to trial. There are issues like limits on the amounts of damages that can be recovered, multiple state and federal laws that must be understood and applied, and even international treaties that may come into play in a particular case.
Needless to say, putting your aviation case in hands of attorneys who have experience and skill in dealing with these types of aviation-specific issues is absolutely critical. In the initial stages, your aviation accident personal injury attorney needs to understand that the technical details of aviation itself, the complex process of aviation accident investigation by the NTSB and other Federal agencies, and how to locate and utilize the key experts in the field. As the case progresses, the attorney must then have extraordinary litigation skills and a comprehensive knowledge of the complicated maze of State and Federal laws that apply to aviation cases. And finally, that attorney must be able to explain all of these complicated matters to a jury that often has no experience or expertise in aviation.
