Plane Accidents

Plane Accidents

Typically, you step onto a plane secure in the knowledge that you will arrive at your destination safely and without incident. And 99% of the time, that will be the case. However, unforeseen circumstances can arise during a flight that can cause injury to you or your fellow travelers, which may compromise your safety.

Providing you with the next steps.

Injury onboard an aircraft can arise in a number of circumstances, including malfunctioning equipment, turbulence, unruly passengers, and negligence on the part of airline staff. Being injured on a flight can be traumatic, especially because medical help, if necessary, may not be readily available.

If you or a loved one has been injured while travelling on a plane, you may not know what the next steps are, or whether your injury is compensable. This is a complicated area of law, which may involve jurisdictional issues (i.e., if you are injured on an international flight), but the experienced lawyers in our Personal Injury group can guide you every step of the way. Hiring a lawyer should be done immediately following the incident, so that the proper investigation is carried out, including retaining an accident reconstruction expert if necessary. Please contact us for a free consultation regarding your plane accident or injury.
