Compensation for Plane and Helicopter Crash Victims
When an act of carelessness leads to an airplane or helicopter accident, the victim has the right to seek compensation for damages. These damages can include medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and more. At the law firm of Veron, Bice, Palermo & Wilson in Lake Charles, Louisiana, our attorneys have the experience to provide justice in these challenging cases.
The Challenges of Aviation Accident Cases
When a helicopter is in an accident on the way to an oil rig, when a small plane crashes taking off from a private airfield or in any other type of aviation accident, there is one major challenge: Most of the evidence is destroyed on impact.
Our lawyers know how to overcome this challenge. We know how to collect and study whatever evidence remains in order to determine the cause of the helicopter or airplane accident. Was it pilot error? Was it mechanical failure? We will find out what caused it and we will take the appropriate action.
Commercial Aviation Accidents
While accidents involving smaller private aircraft are more common, commercial airline accidents do happen. When they do, we can handle them.
The laws that apply in commercial airplane accident cases are different. Commercial airplanes are regulated by common carrier laws, the same laws that apply to buses and trains. These include unique federal and state regulations that hold the airline to a higher standard of care. We know these regulations, and we know how to show that the standard of care was not met, resulting in a serious accident.
