Legal Representation for Victims and Family Members in Commercial Airplane Accidents

Like auto accidents, there are any number of factors – and any number of parties – that can be to blame for a commercial airliner accident. When you hire our team of experienced aviation accident lawyers to represent you, we will spend substantial time investigating the accident in order to determine who should be held liable and in what amounts to compensate you for your losses. The following are all common examples of negligence and misconduct that can give rise to liability in airplane accident personal injury and wrongful death litigation:

• Product defects(parts, equipment, or mechanics)
• Pilot error
• Crew error
• Air traffic controller error
• Technician or mechanic error
• Improper maintenance
• Violation of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations
• Runway defects

Depending on the cause(s) of the accident, one or more individuals, the airline, the airport, and the aircraft manufacturer may all be held responsible for your losses. Whether through an insurance settlement or trial, our accident lawyers will pursue the maximum available recovery for medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment and companionship, and punitive damages. 

Private Plane and Helicopter Accidents

Many of the same causes and parties can be to blame in small plane, corporate jet, and helicopter crashes. These cases often involve unique circumstances, and pinpointing the origin of an injurious or fatal crash requires unique knowledge and skills not possessed by inexperienced attorneys. You need a deeply experienced and highly dedicated law firm, and this is what you get with Scherr & Scherr, LLP.
