Aviation Accidents

California Plane Crash Attorney

Pilot error, mechanical failure, or control tower mistakes are the cause of many aviation accidents. Whatever their cause, airplane crashes result in catastrophic injuries or death to pilots, passengers, and people on the ground. We have the experience and financial resources to obtain compensation for injuries and wrongful death suffered in aviation accidents.

Our law firm has a record of success in cases involving large corporations, governments, and insurance providers. We use this experience to take on general aviation companies, helicopter manufacturers, and their insurers. Our law firm is small enough to provide clients with personal attention, yet large enough to handle a lengthy and difficult aviation case. To learn more about our ability to help people with injuries or death after an aircraft accident, contact our Hayward, California, law firm. Call (510) 689-1988 to learn if you have a case.

In addition to pilot error, mechanical failure, and control tower errors, airplane accidents can be the result of:

  • Design defects in the equipment
  • Violations of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations
  • Structural problems in the equipment
  • Third party errors, such as selecting the carrier or negligent maintenance at a contracted maintenance facility
  • Failure to follow control tower instructions

After a plane crash, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) immediately begins its analysis of the accident site. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) sets the standards of performance and behavior for pilots, air traffic controllers, and all other employees of an airline. We understand the roles and procedures of these two agencies.

Our lawyers also understand the two theories of liability that pertain to most aviation accidents: negligence and product defect. When combined with our understanding of industry standards, this knowledge of aviation law is powerful, contributing to our success helping the injured and the families of those killed.

We have the experience and resources to handle the most complex aircraft accident case. Contact The Law Offices of Suizi Lin.
