The aftermath of an aviation accident can feel overwhelming and uncertain. Whether it involves a commercial airline, private jet, or helicopter, the legal complexities surrounding aviation accidents require a specialized approach. At Hillstone Law, our attorneys provide the guidance and representation victims and their families need during these challenging times.

The Complexity of Aviation Accidents

Aviation accident cases are unlike typical personal injury claims. They often involve a combination of:

• Federal aviation regulations
• State laws
• International treaties
• Industry safety standards

These cases can stem from a variety of incidents, including commercial airline crashes, private plane accidents, and helicopter collisions. Because aviation law casts such a wide net, victims need attorneys who understand the intricate rules that govern these cases.

Why a Timely Investigation Matters

Preserving evidence after an aviation accident is critical. Federal agencies such as the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) typically conduct investigations, but victims and their families should also pursue independent investigations to ensure their interests are fully represented.

A thorough and timely investigation can help determine:

• Whether pilot error, mechanical failure, or maintenance issues contributed to the crash
• If negligence on the part of the airline, aircraft manufacturer, or maintenance company played a role
• The full scope of liability among all responsible parties

Knowing Your Rights

Victims of aviation accidents whether passengers, crew members, or the families of those affected may be entitled to significant compensation, including:

• Medical expenses and ongoing treatment costs
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Compensation for emotional distress and pain and suffering
• Wrongful death damages in fatal accidents

Understanding your rights is essential to protecting your future after such a life‑altering event.

Settlement Negotiations

Insurance companies often seek to resolve aviation accident claims quickly and for as little as possible. Accepting an early settlement can prevent you from pursuing the full compensation you deserve. At Hillstone Law, our attorneys assess the true value of your claim and fight to ensure that any settlement offer fairly reflects your losses both immediate and long‑term.

International Aviation Accidents

When accidents occur across borders, additional challenges arise. International treaties, such as the Montreal Convention, may apply, and different jurisdictions can influence how a case proceeds. Having an attorney experienced in international aviation law is critical to ensuring your rights are protected.
