Aviation Accidents
California - Nevada - Arizona - Plane Crash Litigation
Few personal injury claims are more complex than aviation accidents. At Shea & Shea, our experience with the investigation and proof of facts relating to highly technical liability issues and documenting damages for disabling or fatal injuries gives our clients a distinct advantage in lawsuits involving plane crashes. To schedule a free consultation about our ability to represent your interests effectively in accidents involving aircraft of all kinds, contact one of our experienced lawyers in San Jose.
We represent personal injury and wrongful death clients in plane crash cases such as the following:
- Commercial airline disasters
- General aviation or private plane crashes
- Charter plane or commuter airline accidents
- Ultralight or light-sport aircraft accidents
- Helicopter crashes
- Runway or gate accidents
- Forced landing injuries
Our attorneys know that insurance investigators and the representatives of any potential defendant are very quick to arrive at the scene of a plane crash. Most personal injury or wrongful death plaintiffs have more urgent matters to attend to than staking out their litigation positions in the immediate aftermath of the accident. Once a client engages us, however, we put together a team of forensic experts and technical professionals who go to work to find the facts that will be most essential to the proof of your claim. We have the resources necessary to advance the expenses involved in developing your plane crash claim at our own risk. We only recover our expenses when we win your case through settlement or at trial.
Depending on the causal factors involved in a given aviation accident--pilot error, negligent air traffic control, inadequate training, or equipment malfunction--we might sue the federal government, an aviation school, a commercial airline, an airport authority, or a manufacturer for the recovery of damages. No matter who the defendant might be, we devote intensive attention to the identification and documentation of the complete range of your losses, so that no component of your damages claim will be overlooked or left to guesswork.
