Aviation Accident Expertise
Aviation accidents are complex and require special knowledge. Our lawyers have years of experience handling cases involving all types of aircraft, including commercial airliners, private planes, helicopters, and even drones. We understand the unique challenges that come with these cases, from technical investigations to dealing with large companies.
We work closely with aviation experts, engineers, and investigators to find out exactly what happened in each crash. Our team knows how to work with government agencies like the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to gather important evidence.
Whether the crash involved a major airline or a small private flight, we have the resources and experience to take on even the most challenging cases. Our goal is to make sure every responsible party is held accountable and that you receive the compensation you deserve.
What to Do After a Plane Crash
If you or a loved one has been involved in a plane crash, your first priority should be safety and medical care. Make sure everyone receives the help they need. If possible, try to keep any records, photos, or information related to the accident, as this can be helpful later.
It is important to speak with a lawyer as soon as you can. The earlier we can start working on your case, the better we can protect your rights and gather important evidence. Do not talk to insurance companies or sign any documents before getting legal advice.
Our team is here to answer your questions and guide you through each step. We are dedicated to making this process as smooth as possible for you and your family.
How We Investigate and Build Your Case
At Phillips Law Offices, we take a thorough approach to every aviation accident case. Our lawyers begin by conducting an independent investigation, working with top aviation experts to uncover the cause of the crash. We review flight data, maintenance records, pilot training, and more.
We also work with federal agencies like the NTSB and FAA, who often investigate aviation accidents. By combining their findings with our own research, we build a strong case for our clients. We look at every possible cause, including mechanical problems, pilot error, weather, and even issues with air traffic control.
Our team identifies all parties who may be responsible, such as airlines, plane manufacturers, maintenance companies, or others. We work hard to make sure no detail is missed and that your case is as strong as possible.
Types of Compensation Available
Victims of plane crashes and their families may be entitled to several types of compensation. This can include payment for medical bills, lost wages, and the pain and suffering caused by the accident. If a loved one has died in a crash, families can also seek damages for wrongful death, including loss of companionship and support.
Illinois law allows victims to recover both economic and non-economic damages. Our lawyers will explain what compensation may be available in your case and fight to get you the maximum amount possible.
We know that no amount of money can undo what has happened, but fair compensation can help with medical care, daily expenses, and provide some measure of justice.
Frequently Asked Questions
