Airlines can and should be held liable when passengers are injured or killed by a commercial or military aircraft accident. Persons injured by an airplane accident, or surviving family members, face special challenges in seeking justice but can be assured that a just settlement will be negotiated by a competent, knowledgeable aircraft accident attorney.
When an airplane crashes, whether a commercial or military aircraft accident, discovering what caused the crash is a challenge because much of the evidence likely will have been destroyed, including indications of pilot error or mechanical failure.
Pilot error is the most common cause of any airplane accident. Others are extreme weather conditions, mechanical failures, and design flaws. It is critical that whatever evidence is available at the crash site be collected and studied so that the cause of the crash can be determined. Once this is done, an attorney can determine whether there is a basis for a lawsuit.
For this reason, as soon as you or a loved one are involved in an airplane accident you should call the Cochran, Foley & Associates airplane accident lawyer team at 800-322-5543 and ask for Terry Cochran or Lynn Foley. Both possess the special airplane accident lawyer knowledge and experience needed to make sure all necessary evidence has been gathered and to determine what legal action should be taken to protect your interests and future.
