Los Angeles Plane Crash and Aviation Liability Attorneys

Other parties besides the airline carrier may be held responsible for the injuries or wrongful death resulting from a plane crash; including the plane manufacturer and their subcontractors and air traffic control. Different laws exist for commercial and private flights.

In a commercial flight, a higher standard of care is expected, much like that of a doctor or lawyer. United, American Airlines, Northwest, Delta, Southwest and all other major airlines must take every reasonable precaution to prevent airplane crashes and injuries on their planes from occurring. The Warsaw Convention and Montreal Protocol are international agreements that may govern the amount of recovery available. Our attorneys are intimately familiar with these laws and how they apply to plane crash victims and their families. You need an attorney that understands these agreements and is familiar with their nuances.

A non-commercial flight has different laws that govern it. Typically, a private aircraft and its pilot and/or mechanics must use ordinary and reasonable care in the operation and maintenance of a plane. The owner of the plane involved in a crash can be held liable for the negligence of a mechanic or pilot. Our dedicated legal team will conduct a thorough investigation, including hiring aviation industry experts, to determine the causes of the accident and which parties are liable.

We represent individuals who have suffered an injury resulting from a plane crash, or airline or crew negligence while in the air. In addition, we represent people who have suffered injuries, whether in the air or on the ground, due to a plane crash.
