Serving Plane Crash Victims Throughout Texas

Plane crashes, helicopter crashes, and other forms of aviation accidents are likely to be disastrous when they occur.

According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), civil aviation accidents involving air transportation in or originating from the United States causes approximately 400 deaths per year, and families who lose someone this way may have grounds for a wrongful death claim.

While some aviation companies may try to argue there is an inherent danger to flying, this is no excuse for a failure to protect air travel passengers.

Lesiones y daños en casos de accidentes de aviación

People who survive aviation accidents and plane crashes are often wounded severely. Traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal cord injuries, paralysis, and third-degree burns are not uncommon, and injuries at this level often rise to the standard of a catastrophic injury with lifelong costs.

Unfortunately, due to the violent nature of aerial catastrophes, most people do not survive them. When an aviation accident proves fatal, surviving family members are left not only with grief but with funeral costs, final medical expenses, and the sudden loss of a loved one's income, companionship, and guidance.

Los daños de una reclamación por accidente de aviación pueden incluir:

• Atención médica de urgencia
• Hospitalización
• Rehabilitación
• Destrucción de bienes
• Reembolso de billetes de avión
• Dolor y sufrimiento

Si su caso de accidente de aviación implica la pérdida de un ser querido, puede solicitar daños adicionales en su demanda. En particular, puede reclamar los gastos funerarios y de entierro, los gastos médicos finales del fallecido y daños y perjuicios relacionados con la pérdida de consorcio, compañía y orientación parental que experimentan los seres queridos.

FAQS Regarding Aviation Accidents

Who can be held liable for a plane or helicopter crash?

Liability can extend to the airline or charter operator, the pilot, the aircraft or parts manufacturer, a maintenance contractor, or in some cases an air traffic control entity.

Private and commercial aviation accidents are governed by different rules, so identifying every responsible party early is critical to the value of your claim.

What compensation can I recover after an aviation accident?

You may recover medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, property loss, and pain and suffering.

If the accident involved the loss of a loved one, you may also be able to recover funeral and burial costs, final medical expenses, and damages for loss of consortium, companionship, and parental guidance.

Are aviation accident cases different from car accident claims?

Yes. Aviation accidents typically involve federal aviation regulations, complex investigations by the NTSB or FAA, and defendants with substantial legal resources, such as airlines, charter companies, and aircraft manufacturers.

These cases require attorneys experienced with intricate liability theories and high-stakes litigation, which is why they're handled differently from standard car accident claims.

What should I do after surviving an aviation accident?

Seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor. Preserve any records related to your flight or charter, including tickets, correspondence, and boarding passes, and avoid giving a recorded statement to the airline or its insurer before speaking with an attorney.

How long do I have to file an aviation accident claim in Texas?

Generally two years from the date of the accident under Texas law, though claims involving international flights or certain federal agencies may follow different deadlines under treaties such as the Montreal Convention. Because these timelines vary by circumstance, it's important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
