HOW WE WORK
Frequently Asked Questions About Airplane Accident Claims.
Aviation injury and fatality claims involve high stakes and complex investigations. Here’s what you need to know if you’ve been affected:
Who can be held responsible for a plane crash?
Liability may fall on the airline, charter company, pilot, aircraft maintenance crew, manufacturer, or air traffic controllers. We examine all possibilities based on NTSB reports, black box data, and expert analysis.
What kind of compensation can I recover?
You may be entitled to damages for medical bills, loss of income, long-term care, funeral expenses, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. In fatal cases, surviving family members may file a wrongful death claim.
What if the crash involved a private plane?
Private aircraft are still subject to safety laws and insurance requirements. You may have a valid claim against the pilot, owner, or maintenance provider. We’ll investigate and pursue all liable parties.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Aviation claims are subject to strict deadlines under both state and federal law. In California, most injury and wrongful death cases must be filed within two years, but aviation-specific rules may apply.
Do I need a lawyer with aviation experience?
Yes. Airplane accident cases involve technical evidence and powerful defendants. We partner with aviation professionals and build strong cases to get the answers and compensation you deserve—with no fees unless we win.
