Aviation Accident Lawyer

Aviation accidents can result in catastrophic injuries, significant financial losses, and emotional distress for victims and their families. Whether the accident involves a commercial airline, private jet, charter plane, helicopter, or drone-related incident, the legal complexities of an aircraft accident require skilled legal representation for victims of various types of aviation incidents.

At Breit Biniazan, our aviation accident lawyers have extensive experience handling wrongful death claims, personal injury lawsuits, and liability disputes arising from aviation accidents. The complexities involved in investigating an airplane accident include examining factors like pilot error, mechanical failures, and environmental conditions. We work with aviation experts, engineers, and accident investigators to determine the cause of the crash and hold responsible parties accountable. The role of experienced aviation attorneys is crucial in representing victims and their families in cases of airplane and helicopter crashes.

If you or a loved one has been injured in an aviation accident, our legal team is prepared to fight for maximum compensation to cover medical expenses, lost wages, emotional suffering, and more.

What is an Aviation Accident Lawyer?

An aviation accident lawyer specializes in legal claims involving airplane accidents, including aircraft crashes, in-flight injuries, pilot negligence, and mechanical failures. These cases often require in-depth knowledge of federal aviation laws, airline liability policies, and industry regulations.

It is crucial to consult with an experienced aviation accident attorney to understand your legal rights and options after an airplane accident.

Aviation lawyers handle a variety of cases, including:

  • Commercial airline accidents involving major carriers
  • Private plane and charter jet crashes
  • Helicopter accidents, including tour and medical transport incidents
  • Drone-related injuries caused by negligent operation
  • Turbulence-related injuries suffered by passengers
  • Runway accidents, including collisions and takeoff/landing failures
  • Defective aircraft components leading to in-flight malfunctions

Victims of aviation accidents often face severe injuries or wrongful death claims, requiring aggressive legal representation to secure financial compensation from responsible parties.

Types of Aviation Accidents We Handle

Commercial Airline Accidents

Airplane crashes, including airline crashes, emergency landings, and mid-air malfunctions, can lead to mass casualties. Our attorneys help passengers and families hold airlines, pilots, and maintenance crews accountable.

Private Plane and Charter Jet Crashes

Private aircraft are subject to different safety regulations than commercial airlines, increasing the risk of accidents due to pilot inexperience, improper maintenance, or air traffic control errors. We represent individuals injured in private and corporate aircraft crashes.

Helicopter Accidents

Helicopter crashes frequently involve tour operations, medical transport, and military exercises. These helicopter crash cases require technical investigations to determine liability, whether due to pilot negligence, mechanical failure, or poor weather conditions.

Turbulence and In-Flight Injuries

Passengers can suffer injuries from severe turbulence, falling luggage, faulty seats, or malfunctioning equipment. Airlines have a duty to minimize risks and respond to medical emergencies, and failure to do so can result in legal action.

Runway and Ground Accidents

Collisions on the ground, engine failures before takeoff, and miscommunications with air traffic control can lead to serious injuries. Our legal team investigates all contributing factors to determine fault.

Drone-Related Aviation Accidents

The increasing use of drones in commercial, recreational, and military applications has led to air traffic disruptions and personal injuries. We represent individuals harmed by negligent drone operation.

Common Causes of Aviation Accidents and Liable Parties

Aviation accidents, including aircraft accidents, can result from multiple factors, including:

  • Pilot error
  • Mechanical failure
  • Weather conditions
  • Air traffic control mistakes

Plane crashes, whether involving domestic or general aviation, often require expert legal representation for victims and their families. Our extensive experience in handling cases related to charter, corporate, and small plane crashes ensures that victims receive the significant compensation they deserve.

Pilot Error

Misjudgment, fatigue, distraction, or lack of training can lead to fatal mistakes.

Mechanical Failure

Defective parts, engine malfunctions, and poor maintenance are leading causes of crashes.

Air Traffic Control Negligence

Miscommunications or errors in flight navigation can result in mid-air collisions or unsafe landing conditions.

Weather-Related Accidents

Severe weather, including thunderstorms, wind shear, and fog, can lead to loss of control.

Defective Aircraft Design

Manufacturing defects or structural failures can cause catastrophic failures in flight.

Negligent Maintenance

Airlines and private operators must inspect and repair aircraft regularly. Failure to do so can make them liable.

Depending on the circumstances, liable parties in an aviation accident may include:

  • Commercial airlines failing to ensure passenger safety
  • Private aircraft owners neglecting maintenance and pilot training
  • Aircraft manufacturers responsible for defective parts
  • Maintenance crews failing to perform proper safety checks
  • Government entities, including the FAA or air traffic control, if negligence contributed to the crash

Investigating Aviation Accidents and Legal Challenges

Aviation accident investigations are highly technical and involve multiple agencies, such as the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). These investigations require black box data analysis, flight records review, and expert testimony.

Legal challenges in aviation cases include:

  • Jurisdiction issues, especially in international flights
  • Complex liability disputes involving multiple responsible parties
  • Federal regulations that may limit certain claims

Our aviation accident lawyers work closely with accident reconstruction experts and aviation professionals to build strong legal cases for our clients.

Legal Rights and Compensation for Aviation Accident Victims

Victims of aviation accidents may be entitled to compensation through a personal injury claim for:

  • Medical expenses, including surgeries, rehabilitation, and long-term care
  • Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering caused by physical and emotional trauma
  • Wrongful death damages, including funeral costs and loss of financial support for families
  • Property damage for personal belongings lost in an aviation accident
  • Punitive damages, in cases of extreme negligence by airlines or manufacturers

Personal injury claims are crucial for seeking financial compensation for damages incurred due to aviation accidents. They help victims secure the necessary funds to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional suffering.

At Breit Biniazan, we pursue maximum compensation for our clients, ensuring that they receive the financial support needed for recovery.

I would recommend to family & friends."

Cobi M.

"Throughout 2019 and 2020 Attorney Kevin Biniazan helped me with a personal injury case. Aside from the professionalism and attentiveness one would expect from a quality law firm such as Breit Cantor Grana Buckner, I was taken by the fact that they agreed to take my case on a contingency basis, even though there was little evidence in my favor in the early stages of preparation. This meant the world to me. It meant that they believed in me, and my case, when two other firms declined to take the case. In late 2020 the case settled out of court and I received a substantial monetary award that exceeded my expectations. Thank you Kevin, and all your support staff for believing in me when many others did not!!!!"

Markgerszewski

"This law firm was highly recommended by a friend who had prior representation. I am very pleased with their professionalism and they kept me well informed of my injury case.

Scott S.

"My experience with Breit Biniazan and his team was very positive. They were very helpful, were always available, took time to explain the process, and answer any questions I had. A special thanks to Kellie for all her support and efforts. I always felt she was on my side and looking out for my best interest. I would highly recommend Mr. Binazan and his team and would not hesitate to use their services should the need arise."

Mark T.

"Michael Collett represented us in our suit, and he was incredible. He made quick, efficient work of getting our case positively resolved while also making sure to keep us updated along the way. We recommend him to anyone seeking representation in a personal injury suit.

Our suit had dragged on for five years, and we wondered if it would ever be finished. Once Mike was handed our case, he immediately got to work getting to know us and understanding the timeline of events. Additionally, as a prior military member, he understood that our case was not a traditional cut-and-dry lawsuit: our life continued while the company dragged it out in court, including PCSing overseas and then back to the US during COVID. This kind of personal understanding and attention to detail was instrumental to our case. Mike's background, compassion, attentiveness, and professionalism made the difference; without him, we could have had a very different outcome.

If you are in need of any representation for a personal injury suit, I highly recommend Michael and his colleagues."

Kim V.

"I'm an attorney in Nebraska and represented a Nebraska family who lost their son/brother due to an electrocution on a job site in Virginia. After handling the workers' compensation claim in Nebraska, I reached out to multiple law firms in Virginia, ultimately co-counseling with Kevin Biniazan on the Virginia third party claims. He worked the case up, secured experts, and ultimately tried the case to a jury. Kevin and his team did a fantastic job presenting the case, arguing points of law, and overall just demonstrated that they had put extraordinary time and effort into preparing the case for trial. They secured a 7-figure recovery on tough facts and were great to work with along the way. I highly recommend Kevin and his firm."

Aaron B.

"I give Kevin Biniazan and his team the highest rating I can. I had a case in Va Beach a few years ago, called a few attorneys but ended up going with Kevin because of the knowledge and compassion he showed. After telling Kevin my issue, he and his team did all the work. They took the time to listen to my concerns and feelings, they were informative and available at all times. Along with the success of my case, Kevin and his team gave me the opportunity and support I needed to begin healing. I couldn’t recommend enough!"

Brit T.

"Outstanding service! My case lasted approximately 2 years, the staff was more than patient with me and the multiple questions I had throughout the process. I highly recommend their services to all."

Donald B.

"I was injured in a motorcycle accident with a car driver and refered to Breit Biniazan by a second lawfirm from my home state. They were professional and got me through one of the most painful times in my life. I simply gave them what they needed and they took care of the rest, getting me proper compensation for my pain and suffering."

Kurtis P.

"I took a chance on this firm from a recommendation and I couldn’t be happier with their work and the results of my case. Kellie and Nilda are pure gold! Kellie kept me appraised of everything that was going on, timely and answered all my questions and concerns. I followed a recommendation; trust me, Breit Biniazan is the very best!"

Ally A.

"Kevin, Kylee and his team are the best in the business! They are the most trustworthy,hardworking,dedicated, honest, and morally outstanding people I've had the pleasure of knowing."

Kellie, their paralegal proved to be an invaluable support. Kellie was compassionate and her communication helped us through a tough time. I highly recommend Breit Biniazan."

Craig M.

"I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Beasley and Ms. Jennings. I was unfortunately involved in multiple crashes that I was a victim of and sought their firm, Breit Biniazan for help with medical bills and other issues. They worked with me for well over a year, coming to a successful resolution for my cases. They are incredibly passionate about their job and getting to an outcome desired for their plaintiffs. I would recommend their firm for any cases you may have, no questions asked."

Zach H.

"I’ve never been in a lawsuit, nor have I been to court, or had anything dealing with legal matter so all of this was pretty new to me, and 9/10 it was scary & heart racing. The only reason I got through it is because of Kevin. If it wasn’t for him with his patience, his commitment to his client, or the will to go the distance I never would’ve had confidence in any of this legal stuff. 10/10 recommend Breit Biniazan."

Tyler B.

"Kept me informed of the entire process. Offered advice on how to proceed."

Kenneth P.

"Fantastic team! Kevin is an amazing attorney who comes through on his word. Kylee and the team of paralegals went above and beyond to help me understand what we should expect in the case. I highly recommend Kevin’s team to anyone who is not only in need of a legal team, but one who will get them what they deserve!"

Angelica S.

"Kevin and his team worked tirelessly to help us secure the best possible outcome for an incredibly difficult situation. They were supportive and attentive to our needs, walked us through the process step by step and fought hard for us. I would highly recommend Breit Biniazan for all of your legal needs."

Carmen A.

"Following a motor vehicle accident, I needed assistance with handling insurance issues and was referred to Breit Biniazan for their expertise. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Alexis Meier and her paralegal Molisa Gardner. They managed my case with utmost professionalism, efficiency, and thoroughness.

As a physician, I am aware that some law firms may try to enhance settlements by recommending excessive consultations, imaging studies, and other tests, as well as extensive therapy. However, Alexis and Molisa ensured that I received the necessary care without subjecting me to unnecessary tests or treatments. I found their approach to be both ethical and professional.

I wholeheartedly endorse Breit Biniazan and recommend their services to anyone in a similar situation."

Andrew D.

"Alexis Meier is an exceptional attorney—professional, knowledgeable, and highly effective. She handled my case with efficiency, care, and compassion, ensuring everything was managed seamlessly. Her team was equally impressive, always responsive and prompt in their communication. It was an absolute pleasure working with them, and I highly recommend Alexis and her team to anyone in need of outstanding legal representation."
