Tennessee Aviation Accidents
Tennessee personal injury lawyers represent clients throughout East Tennessee who have suffered serious injuries or the wrongful death of loved ones as a result of aviation accidents. Our personal injury attorneys handle accidents involving private planes, charter planes, commercial airliners, military planes, hot air balloons, and helicopters.
Air travel is considered to be a safe means of transportation by the general public. When accidents do occur, they usually result in fatalities. Many incidents involving private aircraft go unreported and occur more frequently than people realize. After an aviation accident, it is important that you contact a Tennessee personal injury attorney to discuss your rights. There are many different reasons why aviation accidents occur. Some include:
• Piloting errors
• Faulty equipment
• Violations of FAA regulations
• Flight service negligence
• Air traffic controller error
• Maintenance negligence
• Repair negligence
• Fueling error
If you or someone you know has been involved in a plane crash, the airlines' insurance company will probably be in contact with the victim or the victim’s family soon after the crash. Before you sign any documents or accept a settlement, contact a Tennessee personal injury attorney. All initial consultations are free. Your rights for filing a future action against the airline insurer, the airline, the plane manufacturer, or the company responsible for maintaining the airplane may be forfeited should you accept a settlement.
