Planes have significantly changed the way we travel to other states or countries. While flying is a convenient and quick way to travel, it has its flaws.

Plane accidents can result in severe injuries. If you were injured in a plane accident, you may be entitled to compensation for a range of losses, including your medical bills, lost wages, and more.

At Shulman & Hill, a dedicated Brooklyn plane accident attorney can review your case to determine whether you have grounds to file a lawsuit. Contact us today to schedule a free legal consultation.

Common Brooklyn Plane Accidents

Plane accidents are not always devastating crashes. Common types of Brooklyn plane accidents include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • An accident on-board of a plane, resulting from a defective or broken component, such as a broken seat
  • Slip and falls and similar accidents at the airport
  • Food poisoning
  • Accidents resulting from insufficient security

Regardless of the nature of your accident, if you have been hurt on a plane, it may be because someone was negligent. Meet with a personal injury lawyer in Brooklyn to discuss your legal options.

Why Brooklyn Plane Accidents May Happen

The potential causes of Brooklyn plane accidents are wide-ranging. They include:

Pilot Intoxication

Although flying a plane while intoxicated is clearly extremely dangerous and irresponsible, it is not unheard of for pilots to do so.

An intoxicated pilot is more prone to overlooking warning messages, underestimating the severity of hazardous weather conditions, and generally making errors that may put passengers at risk.

Defects

Planes are complex pieces of machinery. A single defect, improper inspections, and lack of maintenance can result in accidents during departure, landing, or while in the air.

Airline Negligence

Examples of airline negligence that can result in a plane accident include hiring unqualified pilots, ground crews failing to properly refuel planes, and failure to explain safety procedures.

Airport Negligence

Airports themselves can also cause accidents. You may be involved in a slip and fall or similar accident if airport employees fail to spot and address a tripping hazard. Keep in mind, even a slip and fall has the potential to result in serious injury.

Pilot Error

A pilot can make a mistake that may put passengers in harm’s way. For instance, if a pilot is distracted during pre-flight safety checks, they might forget an essential step that may lead to an accident.

Air Traffic Control Negligence

The pilot is not the only one responsible for keeping passengers safe. Air traffic controllers also play a critical role in your safety. When they are negligent and fail to properly communicate with pilots, you may be involved in an accident that leaves you with significant injuries.

The Consequences of a Brooklyn Plane Accident

The severity of your injuries will determine the nature of the struggles and losses you may face in the aftermath of a plane accident. In general, any injuries you sustain will likely require some degree of medical treatment.

Being injured in a plane accident will likely leave you with unexpected medical bills. Additionally, your injuries may interfere with your ability to work. In some cases, you may be unable to work until you have fully recovered. Your financial struggles might be exacerbated due to your inability to earn a paycheck.

If your accident happened because someone was negligent, you may be entitled to compensation for such losses. Working with a personal injury law firm in Brooklyn will improve your chances of recovering what you may be owed.

How Our Plane Accident Law Firm in Brooklyn Can Help

The fact that you may be entitled to compensation after a Brooklyn plane accident does not mean collecting it will necessarily be easy. If you attempt to do so independently, you may be less likely to reach a fair settlement. Enlist the help of a qualified Brooklyn plane accident lawyer to guide you through the process.

The following are among the key ways we can help you pursue the compensation you deserve:

Investigating the Accident

After a plane accident, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit to seek compensation. However, before doing so, you need to understand who the negligent party is.

Identifying the parties who caused an accident typically requires conducting a thorough investigation. An attorney can carefully study all the details of your case and help determine who may be responsible for compensating you.

Pursuing Fair Compensation

Our Brooklyn plane accident attorneys can also help ensure you only accept reasonable and fair settlement offers that fully cover the extent of your injuries. We will review all of your losses to date, including your medical expenses, as well as future losses related to your accident to help you identify low offers.

Negotiating

An insurance company is not likely to immediately hand over what you may be entitled to. Insurers often tend to make lower offers at first. There is a chance they refuse to settle altogether if they can justify doing so.

Our experienced personal injury attorneys understand the tactics an insurer might employ. If we cannot reach an appropriate settlement, we will fight on your behalf in trial for a favorable verdict.
