California Aviation Accident Lawyers

California aviation accidents can occur at any time. They can be the result of mechanical failure, pilot error, or any number of other causes. Whether the plane is large or small, commercial or private, it has the ability to cause serious destruction.

Pilots must go through lengthy, intensive training in order to be licensed to fly a plane. The requirements for a commercial pilot to fly are different from what is required of a private pilot. Inexperienced pilots, including those that have flown for a while but are not yet licensed, are not permitted to pilot any aircraft alone. If they were to do so, the results could be disastrous.

Aviation accidents can be a result of any number of causes. All planes must be inspected prior to takeoff to ensure that there are no mechanical issues. Any issues found during the inspection must be resolved before the plane leaves the tarmac. If a mechanical issue is not detected, an accident could be inevitable.

Birds being sucked into the propeller can cause a plane to crash just as easily as an inexperienced or distracted pilot. A sleep-deprived pilot may lose focus and make a deadly mistake.

Whatever the cause, you are entitled to compensation if you’ve been injured in an aviation accident. At The May Firm, we pride ourselves on effectively representing victims of aviation accidents in claims against at-fault pilots, airlines, airplane manufacturers, and anyone else who may be liable for their injuries.

If I ever need a lawyer again, I’m calling The May Firm. I was rear ended and had a ton of bills. They told me what my rights were and that they would take care of me. All I had to do was get to physical therapy. They did everything, and I ended up with a very nice settlement and a new car. Thank you! You exceeded my expectations!

THE AFTERMATH OF AVIATION ACCIDENTS

Although not nearly as common as automobile, boat, bus, or bicycle accidents, aviation accidents are incredibly devastating. Aviation accidents have the potential to injure, if not kill, hundreds of people at a time. For those fortunate enough to survive an aviation accident, the aftermath can be debilitating. Victims of aviation accidents may suffer serious injuries, such as paralysis, loss of a limb, or serious disfiguration.

The mental and emotional effects of these types of accidents are just as serious. Those that survive a plane crash often experience a serious fear of flying. This fear may prevent them from taking leisurely trips with their friends and family and even from traveling for work! If an aviation accident victim is able to convince themselves to board a plane, they may experience significant emotional stress that could result in an all-out emotional breakdown. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a result of an aviation accident is no joke!

Big Profits, Big Attorneys — a Lot of Fight!

It does not matter if the company you were flying with is small or large. Every airline has attorneys on a retainer to protect the manufacturer, the pilot, and the company itself. Their defense attorneys know both the logistics of the law and the characteristics of the planes inside and out. They know what they can get away with, what they can’t, and how much money they will need to throw at you to make you drop your claim.

Many airlines immediately seek a settlement as a means to mitigate their damages. Essentially, these types of settlements are used as “hush money” because they require you to sign non-disclosure agreements forbidding you to talk about the accident, your injuries, or any other related issues. They will also bar you from seeking future litigation if you discover new information or your injuries worsen down the line. The airline will be able to walk away without any damage to their reputation or the fear of future litigation while you will be left incredibly under compensated.
