Choosing a Lawyer for Aviation-Related Injury
Choosing a Massachusetts Personal Injury Lawyer for Aviation-Related Injury or Death
Aviation Accident and Disaster Lawyer
Choosing the right aviation accident lawyer to represent you or a loved one in connection with an aviation-related injury or death, begins with a thorough review of a lawyer’s past legal experience, and, in the case of aviation – the attorney’s direct experience as “Pilot in Command” of an aircraft. There is simply no substitute for actual piloting skills when it comes to understanding the complex dynamics of aircraft performance and failure, the role of “pilot error”, adverse weather conditions, modern avionics, Air Traffic Control (ATC) procedures, Tower communications, navigation aids and equipment, and Federal Aviation Regulations Understanding how this wide range of highly technical factors are likely to impact an aviation case, are best understood by aviation accident lawyers who pilot aircraft. Not aviation accident lawyers who travel as passengers.
While many aviation accident lawyers hold themselves-out as “aviation accident attorneys”, only a very small number of those lawyers are Federal Aviation Administration Certified Pilots, licensed by the FAA to fly passengers. As with most complex pursuits, when it comes to flying aircraft, there is no substitute for experience. The more hours a pilot has logged – generally speaking – the more adverse flying conditions and unexpected mechanical failures he or she has likely experienced, first had. And while the range of piloting hours and experience among Certified Pilot Attorneys varies greatly, one thing is for certain – aviation accident lawyers who are not certified pilots and have never flown as pilot in command of an aircraft are simply lay observers in the complex area of aviation law.
