Aviation Accident Attorney

Skilled Aviation Accident Lawyer Representing Clients in Orlando

Air travel is considered to be one of the safest forms of transportation, but accidents can still happen. If you’re injured in an accident involving a commercial or private airplane or helicopter, Florida law entitles you to full compensation for your medical treatment and your other injury-related expenses. Air travel accidents can be caused by a defective product or part, malfunctioning equipment, poor weather conditions, human error, or several of these factors combined. If you’re injured in an airplane or helicopter accident, whether you were on a short commute or an international flight, take your case at once to the lawyers at the Orlando-based Horst Law Firm. Experienced Orlando aviation accident attorney Robert J. Horst can investigate the accident, outline your legal alternatives, and if you choose to pursue a personal injury claim, he will safeguard your legal rights and advocate aggressively on your behalf for the compensation and justice you need and deserve.

AN EXPERIENCED ATTORNEY CAN REVIEW EVIDENCE RELATED TO THE PLANE ACCIDENT

If you have suffered injuries in a plane accident, it’s important to contact Robert J. Horst as soon as possible so he can begin to review the evidence to determine the cause of the crash. Skilled attorneys will be able to review the flight data and cockpit voice recorders, request the official air traffic control records, and thoroughly analyze the records of the plane to see how well it was maintained. A lawyer can also call upon industry experts for advice and guidance on complex aviation matters.

HORST LAW FIRM WILL HOLD RESPONSIBLE PARTIES ACCOUNTABLE AFTER AN AVIATION ACCIDENT

In personal injury cases related to air flights, the injury victim must prove negligence caused the injuries. This means the victim must work with personal injury attorneys to show that a failure to meet aircraft industry standards caused the accident, whether that failure was pilot error, a lack of proper maintenance, defective products, or malfunctioning equipment. Experienced attorney Robert J. Horst will work with flight experts and crash specialists to determine liability. Personal injury attorney Robert J. Horst will identify precisely why you were injured and to identify exactly who was at fault. Sometimes, it’s not a crash that causes an aviation-related injury. You can be injured by excessive turbulence, by luggage falling from overhead storage, by other passengers, or even by a negligent crew member. Helicopter crashes are also growing in frequency in the state of Florida, and individuals injured in these catastrophic crashes need a lawyer with years of experience in and understanding of helicopter operations, the aviation industry, and aviation law.

ORLANDO ATTORNEYS WILL NEGOTIATE A FAIR SETTLEMENT ON BEHALF OF AVIATION ACCIDENT VICTIMS

After determining the cause of the accident and who was liable, attorneys can then begin to negotiate on your behalf to ensure you receive a fair settlement. A settlement should cover your medical expenses and any other expenses you have incurred as a result of your injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Why do you need an attorney to handle the negotiation process for you? The airline’s insurance company will most likely offer you a settlement right away, hoping that you will quickly accept it before consulting with an attorney. But remember, these insurance companies do not have your best interests in mind. They value their profits over people. There is no way for you to know how much you are entitled to for your injuries without first talking to an attorney, so you should never answer any questions or sign any agreements with an insurance company prior to speaking with a lawyer.

WILL ORANGE COUNTY LAW FIRMS REPRESENT YOU IN CASES INVOLVING IN-FLIGHT INJURIES?

Although many people immediately think of plane crashes when they think of aviation accidents, injuries can also occur while the plane is in flight. For example, if the overhead bin is not closed properly, luggage can become loose and fall on top of passengers’ heads. Extreme turbulence can also lead to serious injuries especially when the jerking movements of the plane causes a passenger to hit his head against the ceiling. In many cases, the airline, aircraft manufacturer, or company responsible for maintaining the aircraft could be held liable for injuries sustained while the plane was mid-flight. If you have suffered an in-flight injury, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact Horst Law Firm today to discuss the details of your case and review your legal options.

WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUITS AND AVIATION ACCIDENTS

Unfortunately, aviation accidents are dangerous and there are often fatalities. If you have lost a loved one in an aviation accident, you may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the airline or manufacturer. In wrongful death cases, the deceased’s family members could be entitled to compensation for funeral expenses, lost wages, loss of companionship, and punitive damages if the behavior that caused the accident was extremely reckless. To discuss your legal options, contact an attorney at Horst Law Firm today.
