Aviation accident investigation following a plane crash involving serious injuries
Injured in a Plane Accident? Understanding Your Legal Rights After an Aviation Accident

Plane crashes and aviation accidents are rare—but when they happen, the injuries are often catastrophic. Victims may suffer traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, severe burns, amputations, or wrongful death. Unlike car accidents, plane crash injury cases are governed by federal aviation regulations, layered liability rules, and specialized investigative processes.

Aviation accident claims often involve multiple responsible parties, including aircraft owners, pilots, charter companies, maintenance providers, and manufacturers. Determining who is legally liable requires a deep understanding of aviation operations, maintenance standards, and federal safety rules. Evidence must be preserved quickly, and parallel investigations by federal agencies may already be underway.

If you or a loved one was injured in a commercial airline crash, private plane accident, charter flight incident, or helicopter crash, you may have the right to pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income, future care needs, pain and suffering, and—in fatal cases—wrongful death damages. Speaking with an experienced plane crash injury lawyer early can protect your rights and prevent critical evidence from being lost.

Aviation Accident Claims We Handle

Our plane crash injury lawyers represent passengers, crew members, and families in serious aviation accident cases, including:

  • Commercial airline crash injuries

  • Private plane and corporate jet accidents

  • Charter aircraft and air taxi crashes

  • Helicopter accidents and air tour injuries

  • Runway collisions and takeoff or landing failures

  • Aircraft mechanical or engine failures

  • Maintenance and inspection negligence

  • Pilot error and flight crew negligence

Aviation accident cases are not handled like ordinary personal injury claims. They require coordination with aviation experts, accident reconstruction specialists, and a thorough understanding of federal aviation law. Insurance carriers and corporate defendants move quickly to limit exposure—often within hours of a crash.

Our role is to level the playing field. We investigate the cause of the crash, identify every liable party, and pursue full compensation for the long-term physical, financial, and emotional harm aviation accidents cause. If you were injured in a plane crash, do not assume the airline or operator will do the right thing—protect yourself by speaking with a qualified aviation accident attorney as soon as possible.
