Airplane Accidents Are Often Devastating and Fatal.
Our attorneys investigate to build the best possible case against the Defendant airline or pilot.
Airlines, manufacturers, and pilots have a duty to provide safe travel for their passengers, as well as their employees, whether they be professional or commercial entities, or operating for recreational use. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen.
While air travel is widely considered to be one of the safest industries in the world, the fact is, airplane crashes don’t just happen by chance. They are often caused by some form of negligence or a careless act.
While uncommon, air plane crashes do happen. In fact, the Aviation Safety Network reported there were 15 fatal airliner accidents in 2018, leading to 556 deaths. Twelve of those involved passenger flights, and three involved airlines on the European Union’s “black-list”.

Catastrophic airplane accidents inflict tremendous loss in terms of casualties and injuries; these types of accident rarely just “happen”.

Liability & Damage Recovery
Airlines and operators have a duty to ensure their passengers and employees get from one place to another safely. If something goes wrong due to various potential failures—from security to failing to properly screen pilots and other employees—the airline is then liable for bodily injuries or deaths that take place as a result of their negligence.
In situation where a recreational plane and pilot is involved, it is still the sole responsibility of that pilot and the owner of the small aircraft, if it is not the pilot, to ensure the safety of its passengers. When they don’t, and injury or loss of life occurs as a result, lives are changed forever, and the only thing that may be able to bring some semblance of peace and closure is the maximum compensation you deserve under the law.
If you have been hurt or lost a loved one in an airplane accident, GOLDLAW may be able to help you get the compensation that you are entitled to.
Airplane accident compensation may include:
- Hospital & Medical Bills
- Lost Wages
- Vehicle Damage
- Pain and Suffering
- Cost of Future Care
- Property Damage
Don’t wait for the insurance company to figure out how much compensation you deserve for your injuries or loss. Insurance agents and adjusters work for the insurance company’s benefit, not yours. It is important that you never agree to or accept a settlement offer from an insurance company without first speaking with an experienced West Palm Beach airplane accident attorney.
