Lexington Aviation Accidents
At Morgan & Morgan, our aviation attorneys have years of experience
handling accident lawsuits, including those arising out of airplane and
helicopter accidents. When presented with an aviation accident claim,
our [Lexington office](/office-locations/kentucky/lexington/) will work with our national team to best
assist you. We work directly with federal, state, and local
investigators to determine the cause of the airplane or helicopter
accident.
In many cases, our attorneys will conduct their own
investigation using independent investigators to confirm that the
government’s accident reports are accurate and fully explain the cause
of the accident. With the help of these experts, our attorneys can
aggressively pursue fair compensation for the victims of aviation
disasters.
If you have been injured or have lost a loved one in an aviation
accident, it is important that you contact an attorney immediately. With
aviation accidents, our attorneys need to review all available evidence
as soon as possible. In addition, the law imposes a time limit in which
an aviation lawsuit may be filed.
Please complete our [contact form](/free-case-evaluation/) for
a free consultation, which is being offered by our attorneys at no cost
and with no obligation.
## How an Aviation Attorney Can Help
### Analyzing Evidence
Morgan & Morgan’s attorneys have experience reviewing and analyzing
evidence in airplane accidents. In the aftermath of an accident, our
attorneys seek to review all available evidence, including flight data
recorders, cockpit voice recorders, air traffic control records, crew
training records, maintenance and inspection records, and procedures and
maintenance manuals.
In cases involving aircraft design or manufacturing
defects, our attorneys may retain experts who will review the
manufacturer’s records concerning design and testing of the aircraft and
analyze similar aircraft that have employed safer alternative designs.
This can help us determine the party or parties liable for your losses.
### Negotiating Settlements
Frequently in aviation accidents, the insurance company for the airline
or airplane manufacturer may make an initial settlement offer that does
not adequately compensate the victim or the victim’s family for their
damages. Our attorneys will review any settlement offers that you have
received and may negotiate on your behalf for a higher payment. If these
negotiations do not result in an adequate settlement offer, our
attorneys may file a lawsuit seeking appropriate damages.
### Recovering Compensation
If you or a loved one has been the victim of an aviation accident, you
may be entitled to recover financial compensation for the damages you
have suffered. In an aviation lawsuit, our attorneys can seek
compensation on your behalf for past and future medical bills, physical
pain, and emotional suffering. In cases involving the wrongful death of
a spouse or relative, we may be able to help you receive compensation
for loss of income and loss of companionship. In certain cases involving
particularly reckless behavior, our aviation lawyers can seek punitive
damages, which are designed to punish liable parties and prevent similar
wrongful behavior from occurring in the future.
## Airplane and Aviation Accident Cases
Morgan & Morgan’s aviation attorneys handle lawsuits and settlement
negotiations arising out of accidents involving commercial airliners,
private planes, military aircraft, and helicopters.
Many aviation accidents are the result of human error or improperly
manufactured equipment. Our aviation attorneys represent victims and
their families in lawsuits involving the negligence of pilots, crews,
maintenance personnel and airline management, as well as defects in the
design and manufacture of aircraft components. We also represent
individuals who have suffered in-flight injuries resulting from airline
negligence.
