Aviation Litigation: Private Plane Accidents
When a private plane accident occurs, the aftermath can be overwhelming. At Nolan Law Group, our experienced aviation law team is dedicated to helping survivors and families of those affected by private plane accidents navigate the challenges they face. We are committed to providing compassionate, professional legal support during this difficult time for clients across the United States.
What Makes Private Plane Accidents Complex
Private plane accidents present distinct complexities compared to commercial aviation incidents. While commercial air travel has become increasingly safe, private jet accidents continue to occur with alarming frequency; at least three crashes are reported every year in the U.S. These accidents often involve:
- Smaller aircraft
- Inexperienced pilots
- Less stringent regulations
- Air traffic control negligence
- Defective aircraft parts
In the latter two instances, lawsuits will also involve manufacturer liability and product liability. We have seen firsthand how the surge in private jet popularity has collided with a shortage of skilled pilots, creating a perfect storm. Our team is well-versed in investigating these elements, frequently partnering with aviation expert witnesses and developing an intelligent strategy.
Understanding Liability In Private Plane Accidents
Determining liability in private plane accidents can be a complicated process. A private jet or aircraft may be owned by individuals, companies or charter services. We meticulously examine all aspects of the case, including:
- Aircraft maintenance records
- Pilot qualifications and experience
- Weather conditions at the time of the accident
- Compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations
Our 40 years of experience in aviation law allow us to navigate the intricate web of regulations governing private flights, whether they fall under Part 91 (personal use) or Part 135 (charter operations) rules.
Pursuing Compensation For Victims And Families
We are committed to pursuing fair compensatory damages for those affected by a private plane crash. This may include coverage for medical expenses and ongoing care, lost wages and future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and wrongful death claims.
