What is an Aviation Accident Lawyer?

An aviation accident lawyer specializes in legal claims involving airplane accidents, including aircraft crashes, in-flight injuries, pilot negligence, and mechanical failures. These cases often require in-depth knowledge of federal aviation laws, airline liability policies, and industry regulations.

It is crucial to consult with an experienced aviation accident attorney to understand your legal rights and options after an airplane accident.

Aviation lawyers handle a variety of cases, including:

• Commercial airline accidents involving major carriers
• Private plane and charter jet crashes
• Helicopter accidents, including tour and medical transport incidents
• Drone-related injuries caused by negligent operation
• Turbulence-related injuries suffered by passengers
• Runway accidents, including collisions and takeoff/landing failures
• Defective aircraft components leading to in-flight malfunctions

Victims of aviation accidents often face severe injuries or wrongful death claims, requiring aggressive legal representation to secure financial compensation from responsible parties.

Types of Aviation Accidents We Handle

Commercial Airline Accidents

Airplane crashes, including airline crashes, emergency landings, and mid-air malfunctions, can lead to mass casualties. Our attorneys help passengers and families hold airlines, pilots, and maintenance crews accountable.

Private Plane and Charter Jet Crashes

Private aircraft are subject to different safety regulations than commercial airlines, increasing the risk of accidents due to pilot inexperience, improper maintenance, or air traffic control errors. We represent individuals injured in private and corporate aircraft crashes.

Helicopter Accidents

Helicopter crashes frequently involve tour operations, medical transport, and military exercises. These helicopter crash cases require technical investigations to determine liability, whether due to pilot negligence, mechanical failure, or poor weather conditions.

Turbulence and In-Flight Injuries

Passengers can suffer injuries from severe turbulence, falling luggage, faulty seats, or malfunctioning equipment. Airlines have a duty to minimize risks and respond to medical emergencies, and failure to do so can result in legal action.

Runway and Ground Accidents

Collisions on the ground, engine failures before takeoff, and miscommunications with air traffic control can lead to serious injuries. Our legal team investigates all contributing factors to determine fault.

Drone-Related Aviation Accidents

The increasing use of drones in commercial, recreational, and military applications has led to air traffic disruptions and personal injuries. We represent individuals harmed by negligent drone operation.

Common Causes of Aviation Accidents and Liable Parties

Aviation accidents, including aircraft accidents, can result from multiple factors, including:

• Pilot error
• Mechanical failure
• Weather conditions
• Air traffic control mistakes

Plane crashes, whether involving domestic or general aviation, often require expert legal representation for victims and their families. Our extensive experience in handling cases related to charter, corporate, and small plane crashes ensures that victims receive the significant compensation they deserve.

Pilot Error

Misjudgment, fatigue, distraction, or lack of training can lead to fatal mistakes.

Mechanical Failure

Defective parts, engine malfunctions, and poor maintenance are leading causes of crashes.

Air Traffic Control Negligence

Miscommunications or errors in flight navigation can result in mid-air collisions or unsafe landing conditions.

Weather-Related Accidents

Severe weather, including thunderstorms, wind shear, and fog, can lead to loss of control.

Defective Aircraft Design

Manufacturing defects or structural failures can cause catastrophic failures in flight.

Negligent Maintenance

Airlines and private operators must inspect and repair aircraft regularly. Failure to do so can make them liable.

Depending on the circumstances, liable parties in an aviation accident may include:

• Commercial airlines failing to ensure passenger safety
• Private aircraft owners neglecting maintenance and pilot training
• Aircraft manufacturers responsible for defective parts
• Maintenance crews failing to perform proper safety checks
• Government entities, including the FAA or air traffic control, if negligence contributed to the crash

Investigating Aviation Accidents and Legal Challenges

Aviation accident investigations are highly technical and involve multiple agencies, such as the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). These investigations require black box data analysis, flight records review, and expert testimony.

Legal challenges in aviation cases include:

• Jurisdiction issues, especially in international flights
• Complex liability disputes involving multiple responsible parties
• Federal regulations that may limit certain claims

Our aviation accident lawyers work closely with accident reconstruction experts and aviation professionals to build strong legal cases for our clients.

Legal Rights and Compensation for Aviation Accident Victims

Victims of aviation accidents may be entitled to compensation through a personal injury claim for:

• Medical expenses, including surgeries, rehabilitation, and long-term care
• Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
• Pain and suffering caused by physical and emotional trauma
• Wrongful death damages, including funeral costs and loss of financial support for families
• Property damage for personal belongings lost in an aviation accident
• Punitive damages, in cases of extreme negligence by airlines or manufacturers

Personal injury claims are crucial for seeking financial compensation for damages incurred due to aviation accidents. They help victims secure the necessary funds to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional suffering.

At Breit Biniazan, we pursue maximum compensation for our clients, ensuring that they receive the financial support needed for recovery.
