Aircraft Injury Lawsuits
How Can an Aircraft Injury Lawyer Help Me?
If you’ve been involved in a serious aircraft accident that was no fault of your own, it’s important that you know your legal rights. We know that lawsuits can be overwhelming and stressful, which is why you need the support of experienced aircraft injury litigators to help you get financial compensation for your recovery and rebuilding your life.
Experience counts when you hire an aviation accident attorney to handle your personal injury case.
Our lawyers understand what it is like to be involved in an aircraft accident and have provided expert legal representation nationwide for decades. Permanent injuries are common in aircraft accidents and can have life-altering consequences.
Aircraft accident settlements often settle for larger dollar amounts because of the insurance requirements for commercial aircraft carriers.
Aircraft companies have teams of attorneys protecting their interests and will attempt to get accident victims to either drop their cases or settle for much less. The reality is that many truck
accident cases require a personal injury lawsuit to obtain sufficient compensation for your injuries.

Do You Have a Case? It Costs Nothing to Find Out!
Because each Aircraft injury lawsuit case is unique, it could take several months or even years to settle a claim or complete a trial. An Aircraft injury lawsuit involves the following steps;
Claim Assessment - When a claim is filed, an assessment is made to ensure you have a valid case. This assessment examines injury/accident details, evidence, damages suffered, medical expenses, cost of future care, and the negligence of the other party during your free consultation.
Investigation - If you have a qualified case, a thorough examination of your Aircraft injury will begin immediately to preserve evidence. Negligent parties will also be notified, and demand will be issued for the preservation of all evidence, including photographs, medications, medical records, and other data.
File and Complaint - Once your evidence is preserved, a lawsuit will be filed against all parties who are deemed negligent in the accident/injury.
Case Discovery - This is where case information is requested from the other parties, conduct depositions, interview witnesses, and obtain expert analyses, injury reconstruction, and medical evidence to build a solid case.
Begin Mediation - Victims and defendants will attend mediation to determine if a fair settlement can be reached. During mediation, a negotiator will attempt to make a settlement to compensate for pain, suffering, and other damages. The majority of Aircraft injury lawsuits will settle before going to trial.
Go to Trial - If no settlement is reached in mediation, the lawsuit will proceed to trial. A jury or judge will hear the case. Attorney's will present evidence and participate in closing arguments.
Settlement - The judge or jury will then determine fault and decide on the amount of compensation to award for your losses.
