An aviation accident lawyer is a lawyer who is experienced in both commercial and private aviation accidents. What defines a commercial aviation accident? Generally, it involves a commercial plane—a plane available to the general public. A private plane is just the opposite, it is not available to the public.
Commercial accidents often involve large commercial airline companies with a fleet of lawyers specializing in aviation law. Do not approach this situation lightly. Whether you were involved in a plane crash because you were flying on the plane or involved in a plane crash because you were on the ground and were injured by a plane that crashed, you should contact an aviation accident lawyer as soon as possible. If have a loved one that was injured in an aviation accident, but that loved one cannot contact an attorney, you should contact an aviation accident lawyer on behalf of your loved one.
Aviation accidents are extremely serious. The potential for injury and even wrongful death is great. Do not assume the commercial aviation company, the private plane owner or operator, or even any insurance companies involved have your best interest in mind following an accident. Only your personal aviation accident attorney will advocate for your best interests.
