Aviation Litigation Attorneys

Although statistically air travel is one of our safest modes of transportation, there are thousands of aviation accidents yearly.  When aircraft do get into accidents, they are devastating, affecting hundreds of victims and their loved ones at once.  Statistical reports by the National Safety Transportation Board show  that there were 1631 personal and commercial aviation accidents in 2007 alone.  Masry & Vititoe has represented those who have been seriously injured in aviation accidents and the families of victims of aviation accidents. Through experience and education, Masry & Vititoe is able to provide sophisticated legal services for almost any type of aviation lawsuit.  Our firm has the practical experience, the legal authority and the interpersonal skills to expertly evaluate and represent you in your aviation claims.

Whether your aviation accident was caused by bad weather judgment, manufacturing defect, equipment failure, design failure or structural problem, pilot error, regulation violation, negligence of aviation employees, air traffic controllers or carrier, maintenance failure or other cause, it is imperative to have an experienced attorney to build, prepare and present your case.  Your aviation attorney will explain the intricacies of your case so that you are not in the dark. It is crucial for your aviation law firm to do the groundwork beforehand to provide the optimum opportunity, hence delivering for the client(s).  The most effective procedure is contingent on the law office's performance, authority and renown in that area of expertise, all of which will enforce the legal precedent.

Proving a case can be difficult. Small, private aircraft are the most likely to crash; and when they do, their pilots, manufacturers, mechanics and others involved in the design and maintenance of the craft are legally liable for the consequences. By contrast, commercial airlines operate under special federal and state rules because they are “common carriers”; they transport people for a fee. They’re legally required to be more careful than a private citizen must be -- and may be liable for significantly more damages as a result. The cause of an accident is often not clear initially, since evidence is often destroyed in the crash, frustrating efforts to identify the facts behind the timeline. Our experienced and knowledgeable attorneys and staff not only undertake difficult cases, they thrive on them.  Our attorneys prevail, convincing skeptics of the merits of a claim via  the simple truth.  Nothing is more effective than credible, trustworthy evidence and objective test findings. Our aviation law firm is committed to protecting our clients' rights and has repeatedly demonstrated our ability to succeed in the most challenging and complex aviation law cases. 

For families of plane crash accident victims, the emotional and financial consequences are catastrophic. Imagine how hard it is: with no warning, a loved one is taken away forever. No last hug. No chance to say goodbye.  Often because of someone’s negligence. Maybe someone switched off or ignored a gauge, or flicked a single switch, setting the stage for a catastrophic chain of events. But we resolutely believe this: whether the aircraft was commerciall, private, military or even an emergency response craft,  the victims of an aviation accident have the right to hold responsible the careless people who caused the crash.

If you or someone you care about has been involved in an airplane or helicopter crash, call our law offices as soon as possible.. Aviation accidents are a complex area of the law, involving state, federal and international regulations. We know our clients have often suffered life-changing injuries that can be financially as well as personally overwhelming. We will treat you with compassion and dignity, while ensuring that you are justly compensated for your devastating loss. Make sure you’re represented throughout any official investigation.
