Michigan Airplane Accident Attorneys

While relatively rare, commercial airplane accidents do occur. According to the Aviation Safety Network, on average, 28.2 airplane accidents occur each year involving aircraft that carry 14 or more passengers. With a 24% chance of survival, this has resulted in over 6,000 lives lost during the past 10 years.

Smaller, private airplane accidents are much more common. In both cases, the roots of the crash were likely rooted in preventable circumstances. When a preventable crash occurs, that means there’s a person or company whose negligence cost someone else their health or their life.

Airplane Accident Lawsuit FAQ:

How much do airlines pay crash victims?

Similar to other personal injury claims, an airplane accident settlement seeks to reimburse victims for any medical expenses, lost income, disability or disfigurement, longterm therapy or treatment, and any pain or suffering.
If you have lost a loved one in a plane crash, you may be eligigble to receive death benefits which may cover lost future earnings, funeral and burial expenses, as well as pain and suffering experience by the victim prior to their death.

How long does a plane crash investigation take?

Because there are often many contributing factors in a plane crash, aircraft accident investigations can sometimes take months to complete. Even after the investigation is complete, it may take several years before a case is fully resolved.
However, if you hire Fieger Law to represent you, we will stay by your side every step of the way, through the investigation and into the court room if need be.

Who investigates a plane crash?

While international flights may be dealt with and investigated by a different party, in the United States the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigates any major aviation accidents.
