Questions About Aviation Accidents

Contact our aviation accident attorney to discuss your commercial aviation case in a free consultation. You owe us nothing unless we win you money.

When crashes occur, people may seek compensation for a variety of reasons. Our firm handles aviation claims involving:

• Smaller engine accidents
• Helicopter accidents
• Defective landing gear
• Pilot error
• Operator negligence
• Defective products
• And more

The litigation surrounding airplane crashes is often complex and unique. You need a knowledgeable lawyer who understands the various regulations and laws:

• Unlike airline common carriers, owners and operators of private aircraft are required to exercise ordinary care in operating an aircraft. When their negligence causes a crash, the victims or their families can pursue a claim against them.

• If an airline crash involves a common carrier, the right to recover damages depends upon whether the flight was domestic (within the United States) or international. The maximum amount of compensation you can seek as a victim of an international airline crash is $75,000 unless you prove "willful misconduct."

• For cases not involving strict liability, proving negligence on the part of employees of the airline, the manufacturer of the aircraft, its component parts, or maintenance crews is difficult, particularly since records, data, and the cause of the crash may be inconclusive. In order to prove negligence or product defect, an attorney must undertake an exhaustive review of all factors involved in the accident.

At Cochran Firm Wisconsin in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, we have the experience and skills needed to seek compensation on your behalf. We take measures to promptly preserve evidence, investigate the airplane accident in question, and enable physicians or other expert witnesses to thoroughly evaluate any injuries.
