PRACTICE AREAS

AIRPLANE ACCIDENTS
Federal agencies set safety standards for pilot conduct, flight operations, and aircraft manufacturers. Because of these safety standards, air travel is generally a safe means of transportation. However, when accidents do occur, they often result in death. The most common causes of airplane accidents include:

* pilot error;
* faulty equipment;
* violating Federal Aviation Administration regulations;
* structural or design problems;
* flight Service Station employees not performing their jobs well;
* federal Air Traffic Controllers mistakes; or
* someone's failure to choose the correct aircraft.
Figuring out who is responsible for airplane accidents can make these cases very complicated. Possible guilty parties may include negligent owners or operators of the plane, or the plane's manufacturer. Maybe the pilot or the crew of the airplane, or the air traffic controllers did not do their jobs correctly. We can help you find out who is responsible for the injury. You or a loved one may be entitled to compensation for:
* punitive damages;
* past and future medical expenses;
* emotional distress; and
* lost wages or lost earning capacity.

CRUISE SHIP ACCIDENTS

Cruise ship lines have a responsibility to make sure that there are no dangerous conditions that could injure passengers. However, despite safety precautions, people can be seriously injured on cruise ships. For example: passengers can become ill if the ship is unsanitary or suffer a personal injury because of bad security and safety. Examples of cruise ship cases include:

* assault by crew members or other passengers;
* food poisoning;
* sexual battery;
* slip and falls;
* trip and falls; and
* injuries on outings.
Cruise Ship owners can be held legally responsible for negligence on a ship, like when a passenger gets hurt because of:

* bad ship maintenance;
* poorly-trained staff;
* old or broken equipment; or
* insufficient safety equipment.
Cruise ship owners can also be held liable for cruise ship accidents that are caused by insufficient safety equipment or emergency precautions. Victims of accidents on cruise ships may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Make sure that you read your ticket carefully for rules regarding potential lawsuit time constraints.
