Handling Domestic Aviation Accidents
It is crucial to consult an attorney if you were involved in an aviation incident, whether it was a domestic or international flight, or involved a plane or helicopter. Aviation accidents are complex, potentially cause by multiple factors including mechanical failure, pilot error, or environmental conditions. An experienced attorney can help navigate the complex legal landscape, determine liability, and ensure that your rights are protected, whether you’re dealing with personal injury, wrongful death, or property damage claims. In investigating an accident, an experienced attorney:
- Reviews aviation regulations: Examines relevant aviation laws, including Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, and international treaties, such as the Montreal Convention, to identify violations.
- Analyzes flight logs and maintenance records: Reviews aircraft maintenance logs, pilot qualifications, and flight records to determine any issues or failures in procedures.
- Collaborates with aviation experts: Works with aviation engineers, pilots, and accident reconstruction experts to evaluate technical causes, such as mechanical failures or design flaws.
- Interviews witnesses and survivors: Collects testimony from passengers, witnesses, flight crew, and air traffic controllers to understand the circumstances leading up to the accident.
- Assesses weather and environmental factors: Investigates the impact of weather conditions or environmental hazards that may have contributed to the accident.
- Identifies liable parties: Determines which parties are responsible for the accident, including aircraft manufacturers, airlines, maintenance crews, or other third parties.
- Coordinates with government agencies: Liaises with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), FAA, and other regulatory bodies during their investigations.
- Reviews insurance policies: Analyzes insurance coverage and policies to ensure proper compensation for victims and their families.
- Builds legal strategies: Develops a comprehensive case to pursue claims for compensation, whether through settlement negotiations or court litigation
