Aviation Accident Attorneys

Few lawyers have the experience necessary to represent a client who has suffered serious injury or lost a loved one in an aviation accident. The attorneys of Harris, Penn & Lowry, LLP, have handled many airplane injury cases, and can help people throughout the United States who need assistance in this specialized area of the law.

No Attorneys' Fees until Recovery

The firm's plane crash attorneys recognize that after suffering catastrophic injuries or wrongful death in the family, clients are unlikely to be able to pay lawyers' fees. All aviation accident and other personal cases are done on contingency, meaning that the firm will only receive fees as part of a settlement or verdict.

Anyone whose family members have experienced an aviation accident is encouraged to contact the firm's lawyers for a free initial consultation.

Causes of Aviation Accidents

Aviation accidents tend to have one of three causes. They are:

• Pilot error: failing to check weather conditions, failing to obtain clearance, etc.
• Product defect: defective engines, defective instruments, and other matters of product liability.
• Maintenance negligence

The cause of the wreck can make a tremendous difference in litigation. The duty of a plane crash attorney is to carefully investigate an accident, determine the cause, and then hold those responsible accountable. A lawyer works to get clients all the money they need to pay for past and future medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

For example, if Harris, Penn & Lowry, LLP lawyers discover that a defective engine was to blame for an aviation accident, they will readily file an aviation lawsuit against the manufacturer of the engine. Having successfully handled many multimillion dollar verdicts and settlements, the firm's plane crash attorneys own the experience and resources to take on even the largest companies.

Government Reports Come into Play

Of course, plane crash attorneys are not the only people making determinations of the causes of aviation accidents. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) sends out a group of investigators to every aviation accident and writes a comprehensive report. And of course, representatives from parts manufacturers, carriers, and other companies that may be responsible go to the scene and make their own conclusions.

Harris, Penn & Lowry, LLP's plane crash attorneys then use the NTSB reports and their own investigations to get their clients the compensation they deserve. If the companies or individuals responsible for the aviation accident refuse to settle for a sufficient amount, the firm's lawyers will readily take the case to court.
