Airplane Accident Lawyers

It is important to hire an experienced lawyer for your personal injury case but experience is especially important for airplane accidents. Lawyers defending victims of aviation accidents must have knowledge of many federal and state laws and the skills to help clients suffering from very serious injuries, and in many cases, wrongful deaths.

The Bodiford Law Group, has spent 25 years helping victims of personal injury in many large-scale cases. Our lawyers will meet, free of charge, with a victim of an airplane crash anywhere in the United States. If we accept your case, all work will be done on a contingency basis, meaning we charge no attorneys fees until recovery is achieved.

Causes of Airplane Accidents

Lawyers working for victims of plane crashes must be ready to investigate a number of possible causes, including the following:

  • Pilot error
  • Failures of maintenance
  • Defective airplanes or airplane parts
  • Communication breakdowns, including air traffic control errors, etc.
  • FAA regulation violations

Determining the true cause of a plane crash is not easy. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), a federal organization in charge of investigating the causes of crashes, quickly arrives at the scene of every airplane accident. Lawyers and representatives of the plane manufacturer, carrier, and other relevant companies also come to the scene.

However, the NTSB only investigates the causes of a crash. The federal agency in charge of enforcing regulations relating to aviation is the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). For the most part, the laws relevant to plane crashes are federal, as the 1958 Federal Aviation Act prevents states from regulating most carriers.
