JACKSON HELICOPTER ACCIDENT ATTORNEY

The investigatory process is often long and complex in helicopter crashes. Sometimes, it takes years for the investigation to wrap up. The priority in any helicopter wreck is for the passengers and crew members to get to safety and receive immediate medical attention. Then, the crash site needs to be secured so the investigation can begin.

Several parties and organizations are involved in the investigation. This often includes the investigator-in-charge and specialists from the National Transportation Safety Board, who are called in. The Federal Aviation Administration or Federal Bureau of Investigation may also get involved. After clearing the crash site of any potential hazards, the team begins creating a report that contains information like the landing impact, the velocity, and the angle of the helicopter where it crashed. The investigators will also look at the position of the passengers’ seats and the locations of the flight equipment, engines, and propellers.

Morgan & Morgan can review and examine all the evidence related to the crash once it’s released by the investigators. This can include flight data recorders, maintenance and inspection records, and more. This can help determine liability, and then we can begin to negotiate a proper settlement from the airline or airplane manufacturer’s insurance company.

Liability can include the pilot, aircraft manufacturer, maintenance technician, or helicopter owner. In some cases, multiple parties are found to be liable. We can work with each defendant’s insurance company to help ensure you receive full and fair compensation for your damages.
