Aviation Accidents

Aviation accidents can happen without warning and can result in catastrophic injuries and damages. When Flying in a plane or helicopter you expect that proper safety precautions are going to be followed.

If these safety precautions are not followed, airplane and helicopter crashes can easily occur, putting pilots, passengers, and even people on the ground at great risk. 

If you or a loved one has been harmed in an aviation accident anywhere in New York State, contact our experienced attorneys at the Porter Law Group right away to protect your rights.

About Aviation Accidents 

Aviation accidents typically occur because of conditions out of your control including mechanical failures, pilot errors, unsafe weather conditions, or collisions. 

Due to the immense forces involved, survivors of airplane and helicopter crashes often endure severe, life-altering injuries. Aviation accidents can cause traumatic injuries and even death due to contributing factors. Contributing factors range from defective plane parts to inadequate pilot training or fatigue. 

Harmed in an Aviation Accident? 

The physical, emotional, and financial toll of aviation accidents can be immense. Families and victims are burdened with the aftermath of an aviation accident.  

You may experience harm including third- and fourth-degree burns, spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, internal organ damage, PTSD, or amputated limbs.  

If you have been involved in an aviation accident, you may be eligible for compensation for medical expenses, lost income, disability accommodations, pain and suffering, and other damages.
