Private Jet Accident

Why You Should Seek Legal Support After a Private Jet Accident

Private plane accidents often receive less public scrutiny than commercial airline crashes. This can make it more difficult to find support and raise awareness about the hardships faced by survivors. Additionally, private planes can have complex ownership structures involving corporations, partnerships, and shared use agreements.

Untangling these structures can be critical in determining liability and pursuing compensation, and it is often too much for someone without professional legal experience to take on themselves. 

At Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys, we understand that things may feel overwhelming for you after a private jet accident. We believe that teaming up with an attorney can help you by providing:

Finding the cause of your private plane crash

Surviving a private plane accident comes with a unique set of challenges, from complex legal issues to the physical and emotional trauma of the event. We are ready to take your call, discuss your case, and explore ways for you to seek compensation after a private plane crash has impacted you or a loved one. 

The cause of aviation accidents can range from pilot error and mechanical failure to inadequacies in aircraft maintenance or even issues with air traffic control, making the process of attributing liability complex and requiring thorough investigation. 

Determining the cause of a private plane crash

Determining the cause of a private plane crash is crucial to understanding how the case will unfold. Unlike commercial airlines, which have extensive regulations and oversight, private planes operate under a distinct set of rules. Investigations can have many factors, including the involvement of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and private insurance companies.  

Understanding the investigation process and securing legal representation experienced in aviation law is critical for ensuring a thorough investigation and protecting your rights. Here is just a brief list of what an attorney experienced with private aviation accidents can help you with:  

• Navigating complexities of aviation law. 
• Working with investigators to analyze issues like pilot error, inadequate maintenance, or air traffic control mistakes. 
• Determining who is liable for the issues uncovered in the accident investigation. 
• Compensation for severe injuries, emotional distress, and missed work. 
• Negotiating settlements with insurance companies. 
• Wrongful death claims if you have lost a loved one.  

Compensation for Private Plane Accidents

Damages for the physical consequences

Private plane accidents often result in severe injuries, and the medical bills associated with treatment and rehabilitation can add up quickly. Additionally, lost wages due to missed work can create financial strain. It is vital to have someone you can trust who knows the ins and outs of insurance coverage, including the plane’s and your health insurance.  

An attorney specializing in aviation accidents can help maximize your financial recovery and ensure that insurance companies provide you with a fair settlement encompassing everything you have been through.

Damages consequences on your emotional and mental health

The emotional trauma following a plane crash can be immense. Victims may experience anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Fear of flying, flashbacks, and nightmares are all common.

Prioritizing mental health and seeking professional help is essential for healing after such a traumatic experience. These challenges are all considered when fighting for the compensation you deserve after a private plane accident.
