Aviation Accidents
Every day, across the United States, private and commercial airplanes crash. There are inherent risks involved when traveling by plane, and when accidents occur, the victims and their families need the assistance of a qualified aviation accidents attorney.
At Gordon & Doner, P.A., our mission is to achieve justice. This is our commitment to you. Our firm has many years of experience representing family members of passengers and crew members seriously injured or killed in aviation disasters, and we recognize that many aircraft accidents are the result of pilot error, aircraft parts or product failure, or negligent aircraft maintenance.
Aviation accidents can, and often do result in serious injury or death. Many could have been prevented. The lawyers of Gordon & Doner will investigate and analyze the root causes of an aviation accident to determine liability for damages. The most common causes of both major airline crashes and general aviation accidents include:
- Pilot error
- Bad weather
- Faulty equipment
- Federal Aviation Administration regulations violations
- Structural or design problems
- Negligence of flight service station employees
- Negligence of federal air traffic controllers
- Dangerous or defective airplane design or manufacture
Regardless of the reason for the disaster, the result is almost certain to be fatal for all on board. After an aviation accident, it is imperative that you contact an attorney skilled in the representation of plaintiffs in aviation lawsuits immediately. It is highly likely that you will be contacted by a representative of the airline involved, who may be a defense attorney or somebody from an insurance company that is contacting you to offer a generous settlement. Do not sign any paperwork. Often, the settlement offer is well below what could be expected if the case went to court.
Aviation law is a complex field. Gordon & Doner aviation attorneys have the trial skills and resources to handle the complex and expensive litigation involved in aviation disasters. They review all relevant government reports, conduct a thorough and independent investigation, and report on the causes of aviation disasters, making contact with NTSB officials within hours of getting a call from a client.
If you have any legal question regarding injury or death related to an aviation accident, contact our Florida aviation lawyers today for a free consultation. At Gordon & Doner, we believe our system of justice works best when skilled attorneys that have the resources to fully prepare and try a case represent both sides.
