Aviation Law FAQ

Are aviation lawyers only used in crashes?

No, our aviation attorneys have years of experience handling a diverse amount of aviation incidents. In fact, while aircraft crashes are fairly rare, injuries on the aircraft or in the airport are quite common. Some of these injuries can result in serious lifelong consequences for the victims, even death.

What can your law firm do for me?

The law firm of Wingate, Russotti & Shapiro has years of experience handling aviation related cases throughout New York. Our law firm can provide you with legal representation and protection, a thorough investigation into the incident, and fight hard to ensure that those responsible for the injuries pay for the damages that they caused.

Our clients have received settlements that helped pay for expensive medical bills, physical therapies, loss of work, wrongful death, loss of property, and even legal bills. While no New York aviation lawsuit should ever be filed frivolously, our law firm strongly believes that those responsible for injuries should also be responsible for paying for them.

What if I can’t afford an attorney?

Wingate, Russotti & Shapiro offer free, no-obligation legal advice on any aviation incident in New York.

Most every aviation case that we handle we do via contingent fee basis. The contingent fee is a legally preset amount of a settlement. This fee is only paid if we successfully settle your case, is only paid at the end of your case, and is only paid from the settlement.

The contingent fee allows people who otherwise cannot hire experienced and professional lawyers to be able to do so without any expensive legal fees upfront. Our law firm has a long and successful history with clients and we work hard to keep that prestige intact. We always factor contingent fees and legal fees into any settlement that we agree to accept.

What if the insurance company of the airline has contacted me about settling the case?

You should generally never speak to anyone about the incident without at least consulting with our office for free first. Insurance companies and their lawyers will try to settle cases with victims for much less than is legally owed. In other cases insurance companies may even blame the victim for their injury and wind up suing them. Make sure to protect yourself from harm by having effective New York aviation attorneys on your side at all time.

Never sign any paperwork, agree to any settlement or prolong contacting a lawyer. Our office is offering free legal consultations so there is no obligation or reason not to contact us. We look forward to working for you.
