Aviation Accidents

Every year, millions of people board airplanes as pilots or passengers and arrive safely at their destinations. Air travel is considered much safer than other modes of transportation, mainly because accidents involving large, commercial planes are infrequent. That is not the case with smaller planes and helicopters.

The increase in the number of private pilots, aircraft, and flights has unfortunately made plane crashes more common—especially as the skies become more crowded.

Were you injured in an aviation accident?

Aviation accident cases are complex because they usually involve several factors:

  • Bad weather
  • Pilot error
  • Improper maintenance
  • Manufacturing defects
  • Air traffic controller error

The National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB) investigates aviation accidents. However, evaluating crash evidence and interviewing witnesses are crucial ways to preserve and prepare your claim. A qualified personal injury attorney with experience representing plaintiffs in aviation accident cases reviews the details of the accident and may improve your odds of receiving compensation for your injuries.

If you or a loved one has been injured in an aviation accident—or if a loved one has died as a result of an aviation accident—you may be entitled to compensation. Parker & Crofford has helped a woman whose child died in an airplane accident obtain the maximum amount allowed against the state.
