While air travel is the most efficient and safest mode of long-distance transportation, the industry is not immune to accidents. Aviation Accidents generally have devastating consequences and many unanswered questions.

As there are multiple causes for airplane accidents, including mechanical failure, faulty maintenance, and pilot error, the lawsuits that result from airplane accidents are quite complex.

Experience counts

After an airplane accident, it is important to hire an attorney with not only the legal experience necessary to handle your claim but also the knowledge of where to find important evidence. For instance, did you know that private planes do not have “black boxes”? Also, private planes are not subject to the same standards of maintenance as commercial aircraft. An attorney without knowledge of the aviation industry or the laws governing air travel is at a distinct disadvantage to airline or insurance company counsel.
