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.
