Aviation Accident Lawyer in Alpharetta

Liability in aviation accidents is often decided based on the accident's circumstances. Potential liable parties in such cases may include:

• the airline, for operational failures or safety lapses;
• the aircraft manufacturer, if a design or manufacturing defect contributed to the accident; maintenance providers, for inadequate maintenance or repairs; and
• government entities responsible for air traffic control, in cases of navigational errors.

In some cases, liability may extend to multiple parties, such as manufacturers of parts used in the aviation industry and the advertiser, each contributing to the accident in different ways.

Victims of aviation accidents can claim various damages, which also depends on the severity of the injuries or losses sustained and the level of negligence that might have contributed to the accident. That said, typical damages in such cases include:

• Medical expenses for both immediate and ongoing treatment;
• Lost wages if the injury impacts the ability to work;
• The victim’s pain and suffering.
• Lost earning capacity
• Loss of companionship, future earnings, and funeral expenses, in the case of wrongful death.

Aviation accident claims aren't limited to incidents involving aircraft crashes. They can also arise from incidents that occur on board an aircraft, such as injuries due to turbulence, slip and falls during the flight, or even psychological trauma caused by a near-accident experience.

Claims can also stem from incidents on the ground, such as injuries sustained during boarding or disembarking from the flight or accidents in the airport premises. In all these scenarios, if negligence or a breach of duty can be established, you may be able to bring a successful claim against the at-fault party.
