Aviation Accidents

Kansas City Aviation Accident Attorneys

Our aviation accident attorneys represent people nationwide who have suffered catastrophic injuries or the wrongful death of a family member in general aviation accidents, including helicopter and small plane crashes. We have collected multimillion dollar awards for our clients, including:

  • $26 million for the family of a husband and wife who died in a small plane crash in North Carolina. The settlement is reportedly the largest of its kind ever recorded in North Carolina.
  • $25 million for a respiratory therapist who suffered severe brain injuries in the crash of a Life Flight helicopter in Kansas City. This was one of the largest personal injury settlements in Missouri history.
  • $4.75 million for a customer of the Greater Kansas City Skydiving Club who was killed in a fire following the crash of a Cessna 206 that experienced catastrophic engine failure.

If you are the victim of an aviation accident, it is important to hire a lawyer who has access to the appropriate expertise to reconstruct what happened and why, and to present it in a persuasive manner to a jury. Our aviation accident lawyers have access to an experienced team of experts whom we commonly use in these cases.

Many aviation accidents are caused by product defects. Aircraft and engine manufacturers, like any big corporations, have substantial resources to defend themselves in court. We are the lawyers who make it possible for average people to go to court, battle these corporations, and win.

Contingency Fee Representation

Our attorneys represent victims of aviation accidents on a contingency fee basis. We invest our time, our efforts, and our money purely with the objective of making a recovery for you or your family. Only if you recover damages do we collect fees for our time and efforts. The costs and expenses that we have advanced to prove your case will be reimbursed to us only if you recover. You have no liability for costs or expenses unless a court directs otherwise. This system, which is unique to the American justice system, makes it possible for our clients – citizens like you – to stand toe to toe with the world’s largest corporations and insurance companies.

The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements. Past results afford no guarantee of future results. Every case is different and must be judged on its own merits.
