Additional Information

Why Airplane Accident Cases Require an Experienced Aviation Attorney

If you or a loved one has been injured in an airplane or aviation accident, it’s critical to consult a knowledgeable attorney with specific experience in handling such cases.

Aviation accident law is highly complex, often involving a combination of Florida state law, federal regulations, and even international aviation laws. These cases come with their own set of technical rules regarding filing deadlines, pleading requirements, and procedural matters that attorneys without aviation expertise may not fully understand.

Failing to strictly follow these rules can result in your claim being denied or dismissed, regardless of its merits. That’s why it’s essential to work with an experienced lawyer who knows which laws apply to your case and how to use the facts and legal framework to secure the full compensation you deserve.

Our board-certified trial lawyers in West Palm Beach have the deep knowledge needed to protect your rights, the compassion to support you during this challenging time, and the proven skills to recover the compensation you’re entitled to.

Don’t wait! Contact us today for a free initial consultation and case review. Time is of the essence. Every day you delay seeking legal help brings you closer to potentially losing your right to file a claim for your injuries.

What Causes Aviation Accidents?

The Federal Aviation Administration identifies several causes of aircraft accidents, including:

Pilot error and human error
Air traffic control mistakes
Faulty or negligent aircraft maintenance
Mechanical failure and engine failure
Improper maintenance
Violation of federal aviation regulations
Weather-related errors
Errors by aviation professionals or air travel service providers

These accidents can lead to severe consequences for aviation accident victims, including medical bills, long-term recovery, or even wrongful death.

Don’t Accept a Settlement Without Legal Advice

After an airplane accident, insurance companies may offer a quick settlement—one that likely doesn’t cover your full medical expenses, lost wages, or long-term care needs. Because these companies rely on data about past settlements and jury verdicts, you’re at a disadvantage if you don’t have a knowledgeable lawyer by your side.

We analyze your case using a proven methodology based on real-world aviation accident verdicts and settlements. This helps us secure a fair settlement on your behalf—and ensures you’re not undervalued by the defense.

Our No-Win, No-Fee Promise

We work on a contingency fee basis: no fees or costs unless we win. Our free consultations are available 24/7, including evenings and weekends, ensuring you can reach us anytime.

Time Is Not on Your Side

Every day counts. The legal deadlines for filing aviation accident cases are strict, especially under the Federal Tort Claims Act and other federal aviation statutes. If you delay, you may lose your chance to file altogether. Get a FREE Consultation and FREE review case now.

I was involved in a horrific bicycle accident and severely injured. When I decided to pursue my case legally it seemed everyone in the biking community all recommended Bill Bone. I’m now adding my name to that long list of recommendations. He and his legal, office, administrative and investigative staff, were extremely competent, thorough, professional and aggressively pursued my case. I was very satisfied with the final settlement and recommended his services unequivocally.
