Do You Need a Lawyer?
Aviation accidents often involve highly technical evidence, multiple potentially responsible parties, and laws that can differ significantly from those governing other personal injury claims.
An attorney experienced in aviation litigation can investigate what happened, preserve critical evidence, evaluate maintenance and operating records, determine which regulations and laws apply, consult appropriate aviation experts, and identify the parties that may bear responsibility.
Hiring a lawyer at Watts Law Firm costs nothing upfront. We work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning our payment depends on obtaining a recovery for you.
Every aviation accident is different. The best way to determine whether you may have a claim is to speak with an attorney who can review the circumstances of the accident, the injuries or losses involved, and the individuals or companies that may bear responsibility.
You should contact an attorney as soon as possible after an aviation accident. Aircraft records, maintenance information, electronic data, physical evidence, witness accounts, and other materials may be critical to determining what happened, and legal deadlines can vary depending on the circumstances and location of the accident.
Depending on the circumstances, potentially responsible parties may include an airline or aircraft operator, aircraft or component manufacturer, maintenance provider, airport operator, contractor, pilot, government entity, or another party whose actions contributed to the accident.
