Air Cargo Accident Attorneys

While commercial aviation disasters often attract more media attention, the impact of air cargo accidents involving many of the same aircraft, must not be underestimated. The damage is devastating to those individuals on board, their families, and those affected on the ground.

Nolan Law Group is a recognized leader in personal injury and wrongful death claims arising from air cargo accidents, whether representing innocent bystanders on the ground or the pilots of the accident aircraft or their families.

All these victims deserve the same dedicated representation focused on finding the truth and holding accountable the companies and people who caused the accident. Yet, claims of pilots, crew, and their families are often discounted as simply workers’ compensation claims because those injured or killed are employees of the airline. We dig deeper to find not only the root cause but all contributing factors that result in these accidents.

Nolan Law Group is currently evaluating air cargo accident cases involving:

• Overloading

We are very knowledgeable about the effects of overloading, misloading or center of gravity miscalculations, as well as issues associated with defective equipment and dangerous cargo.
