What Caused The Crash?

We can represent your interests in accidents involving commercial jet airliners, commuter flights, private aircraft or helicopters. A plane crash is usually attributed to (a) pilot error, (b) negligent maintenance or (c) manufacturer liability for faulty aircraft design.

Our preparation for litigation parallels the federal plane crash investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board. We use preliminary findings to launch our own inquiries:

  • Examining the wreckage and flight recorder data
  • Taking depositions of surviving passengers or crew
  • Checking into the pilot’s background and flying history
  • Maintenance and inspection logs on the aircraft
  • Witness statements

Get Help From An Attorney Who Is Also A Pilot

Doug Carter brings an in-depth understanding of FAA regulations pertaining to pre-flight checkdowns, tower clearance, taxiing, takeoff, in-flight operation and landings. He hires top aviation and engineering experts as necessary to demonstrate how the aircraft itself failed, or how pilots or grounds crew contributed to the crash.

Many plane crashes are fatal accidents. If there are survivors, aviation accidents typically involve permanent or catastrophic injury. We have two registered nurses on staff who can help determine the future financial needs of victims.
