Atlanta Aviation Accident Lawyers
Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) is one the busiest air traffic hubs in the nation – and the world. With so much business and community traffic going in and out of the city, statistics suggest that aviation accidents should be more likely.
Contrary to popular perception, the most common aviation disasters do not involve enormous planes carrying 100s of international travelers; rather, they involve small industrial and personal air craft. If you or a family member got injured in an aviation disaster, you want immediate help and advice to collect damages from the party (or parties) who caused or contributed to the crash.
Aviation accident reconstruction
To force a careless air tower controller, negligent pilot, or manufacturer of a defective airline part to pay for your medical bills and other damages, your Atlanta aviation accident attorney will need to build a compelling argument that links the liable party’s omission, negligence, or carelessness with your injuries. To make this happen, your attorney will need to probe what caused the air disaster and likely engage the services of outside experts who will testify on your behalf. Accident reconstruction is a delicate art; even mundane-seeming runway accidents can be tough to reconstruct. That’s why an aviation accident victim should work with an experienced and resourceful legal team that has the wherewithal and track record to deliver good service.
More possible defendants than you might realize
Accident victims (and their families) may initially target one individual or one company as the most responsible for what happened. But, as your Atlanta personal injury lawyer will tell you, in general, the cast of potential defendants may be more diverse. For instance, say your small commuter plane hit the runway at an awkward angle, and you suffered whiplash as a result. Your first instinct might be to accuse the pilot of making a careless landing. But a probe of what happened might show that the runway maintenance crew failed to clear off enough space for the vehicle and/or that the company that hired the pilot failed to do due diligence on its prospective employees. In that case, not only might your suit target the pilot, but it also might go after the runway maintenance crew and the company that hired the pilot.
