How aviation cases work
After most aviation accidents, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigates and publishes findings, which can take a year or more. A civil case is separate. Responsible parties can include the operator, the pilot, maintenance providers, and the manufacturers of the aircraft, engine or parts.
- We preserve evidence and records early, before they are lost.
- We work with aviation experts to reconstruct what happened.
- We identify every responsible party and every source of insurance.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
Most injury and mass tort cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, so you pay no attorney fees unless there is a recovery. We explain the fee agreement in writing before you sign anything.
Should I talk to the airline or operator's insurer?
You are not required to give a recorded statement to an insurer. It is wise to speak with a lawyer first.
Is there a deadline to file?
Yes. Deadlines vary by state, by the type of flight and by international treaties that apply to some flights. An attorney must review your situation to confirm your deadline.
This page provides general information, not legal advice. Every case is different, and deadlines vary by case and jurisdiction. An attorney must review your specific situation.
