Brannon & Associates has successfully represented various parties involved in aviation accidents and airplane crashes. While accidents involving commercial jets receive the majority of media attention there are actually more accidents involving privately owned aircraft and smaller charter flights. An aviation accident may be caused by pilot error, equipment malfunction, defective parts, faulty maintenance or poorly designed aircraft. Often families trying to cope with such a tragedy are left searching for answers and are unaware of their legal rights.
Aircraft accident law can be complicated, and as a result it is important to retain a law firm prepared to help you through the process of determining what really happened and who is responsible. Aviation accident attorney Douglas Brannon is an active FAA licensed pilot who possess an in depth knowledge of many facets of aviation gained through years of experience operating aircraft. Combined with a team of litigation attorneys and investigators we work hard to help victims of airplane accidents obtain compensation from all available sources.
Accidents involving private, commercial and military aircraft each have different rules, regulations and applicable law. The Federal Aviation Act was created in 1958 to establish a set of safety standards for airplanes, including the conduct of pilots, aircraft manufacturing and flight operations. While pilots of both private and commercial flights have to operate aircraft with the skill of an ordinary, qualified pilot for that particular aircraft, the maintenance requirements, inspection duties, training requirements and safety measures are different. Therefore it is important to consult with an attorney experienced in the field of aviation.
Depending on the circumstances surrounding an airplane crash the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will typically investigate the accident and issue a report. The status of an NTSB investigation can be monitored at www.ntsb.gov. However, you should not wait until the final report to contact us to find out what we can do for you. Often it is necessary for our attorneys to interview witnesses, preserve the wreckage, evaluate liability, identify jurisdictional issues and protect your rights during interviews with authorities and insurance representatives.
If you or a loved one has been the victim of an aviation accident the experienced attorneys at Brannon & Associates can provide accurate advice and information specific to your case. The law sets time limits in which you can pursue a claim for your injuries, and once that time passes, your right to recover for your injuries will be lost.
