Ohio Airplane Crash Attorneys Serving Clients Nationwide

Aviation crashes result in approximately 500 deaths annually.

Aviation Accidents

Every year, hundreds of small airplanes and personal aircrafts crash, leaving pilots, passengers, and their families devastated by life-altering injuries and death. In fact, according to the National Transportation Safety Board, a staggering 97% of aviation fatalities occur in general aviation, not in commercial flights. ABC News reports that small-plane crashes result in approximately 500 deaths annually.

If you have been injured in an airplane accident, or lost a family member in a crash, you need an experienced injury attorney who is familiar with all the applicable state, federal, and international laws. Lawsuits typically involve many different defendants, including the common carrier, the aircraft’s manufacturer, the pilot, and the plane’s distributor.
