New York Aviation Accidents in the Air

Aviation accidents that occur in the air over New York are more frequent than you might think. Passengers are injured aboard aircraft that is simply unsafe to be walking around on. Others are injured and killed when aircraft crash for mechanical or other reasons. Some passengers are injured by other passengers while in the air. If you or a loved one has been injured while flying, for any reason or cause, please contact Wingate, Russotti & Shapiro for a free consultation.

Our New York aviation lawyers have years of experience handling incidents that have occurred in the air. Following an onboard incident many people are unaware of their rights and just do what the airline staff tells them to. This is usually not the best course of action for the injured parties. If you or someone you love has been injured while flying do not agree to any settlement, sign any paperwork or admit any guilt before speaking with an aviation attorney at our firm for free. Our clients have often received much higher settlements than first offered by the airline insurance company.

Our attorneys can piece together an incident and investigate elements of the case that usually go unnoticed. If the incident involves a part of the aircraft we can thoroughly investigate both the history of that particular aircraft, the piece or pieces involved, maintenance records and how those pieces hold up with time. Mechanical problems are often involved in aviation accidents that take place in the air. The entire picture should be looked into by an experienced New York aviation lawyer from our firm.

If the injury involved another person or staff member of the airline then most likely additional investigations need to be done. Was an unruly passenger let onboard even though they were clearly upset before getting on the aircraft? Was security or passenger screening on the ground involved somehow? Did the airline staff follow strict procedures during the incident? Were the pilots rested and did they have experience in similar situations? Finding the answer to these questions, and others, is often vital in determining what exactly happened in any New York airplane or helicopter injury or accident.
