Baton Rouge Plane Accident Lawyer

Whether a small aircraft crashed into your home or your plane malfunctioned due to a negligent third party, you have a right to financial compensation. Get the most from your claim by working with a Baton Rouge plane accident lawyer.

If properly trained on operation and equipped with the necessary safety precautions, a recreational aircraft can be flown safely and enjoyably. But even the most experienced pilot can make a mistake, or the airplane might malfunction at the worst possible moment.

Unfortunately, an aviation accident can happen for any number of reasons, and if you survive, the aftermath can be just as bad. You may be left with serious injuries, medical bills, insurance claims, and more. It’s just not feasible to handle it on your own.

By hiring a Baton Rouge plane accident lawyer from Spencer Calahan Injury Lawyers, you’ll be one step closer to receiving the compensation you deserve.

Types of Injuries Suffered in Plane Crashes

Aviation accidents can lead to various types of injuries, including all of the following:

• Broken bones and fractures
• Cuts and disfiguring lacerations
• Back and neck injuries
• Brain damages or head trauma
• Amputations
• Death

These injuries can be minor—if you’re lucky—but they are likely to be severe and possibly life threatening. Not to mention that recovery time can take years or perhaps last a lifetime. 

No matter what injuries you sustained, your Baton Rouge plane accident lawyer will investigate your specific case to determine what caused the crash and who or what is at fault. All of this information will ultimately decide how much compensation you are eligible for and who owes it to you.

Name Everyone Responsible in Your Claim

Determining cause and fault is important to the success of your personal injury claim. We need to know this information in order to determine the amount of compensation that would be fair and cover all of your losses. While this process can be tough and time consuming, your Baton Rouge plane accident lawyer will be experienced in this type of information gathering, so you can rest assured that it will be figured out.

So what happens if you are found to be partially at fault for the accident? It doesn’t automatically mean that you can’t get compensation, but that amount will be reduced. On the flip side, it may come up that multiple parties are at fault. For example, let’s say that your plane malfunctioned in some way:

• Mechanics – If a part malfunctioned due to incorrect installation
• Aircraft Manufacturer – If a step was missed in their building process
• Part Manufacturer – If a specific part malfunctioned
• Airport Personnel – If air traffic control gave poor instructions or if the wrong fuel was used

Cases involving multiple parties at fault can be tricky to handle and take more time. But in the end, your compensation requires naming all of them in your claim, so you’ll want your attorney to take the time to investigate all potentials.
