Louisiana Aviation Accident Attorneys
Plane & Helicopter Accident Lawyers in Louisiana
The emotional and physical tolls of aviation accidents are devastating, subjecting survivors and their families to a lifetime of struggle. Unlike most motor vehicle accidents, the nature of aviation means accidents—whether on the tarmac or in the air—almost always cause long-term harm. The speed, scale, and rigors of air travel can lead to serious injuries even in seemingly modest accidents. Crashes rarely result in anything less than massive loss of life. Though air travel is the safest way to fly statistically, it also has the highest stakes.
Consequently, seeking to hold an employer or company liable for an aviation accident is exceedingly complex. Claims have to navigate multiple federal regulatory or investigative agencies as well as take on the high-powered insurance companies behind large air travel companies.
