Our experienced airplane accidents lawyers can assist you with any of the following issues and causes:

• Runway incursions
• Pilot error / Flying plane when not advisable
• Structural or design problems with an aircraft
• Flight service station employee negligence
• Federal air traffic controllers' negligence
• Third party's carrier selection negligence
• Maintenance / Repair of the aircraft or component negligence
• Fueling the aircraft negligence
• Failure to de-ice / Ice on wings

Our firm has successfully handled numerous runway incursion accident cases, including one at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in which a federal air traffic controllers' negligence resulted in a US Airways plane landing on a SkyWest plane. We also did the 2000 Alaska airplane crash in which the crew attempted to fix a flap problem while the plane was still in the air. Due to a combination of pilot error and manufacturing defect, the plane went straight down and crashed into the ocean in the Channel Islands.

In another of our cases, a Chinese Eastern Airline flight to Los Angeles flying over Alaska resulted in the nose of the plane pitching straight down when the co-pilot mistakenly bumped an exposed lever that was to be kept under a dome glass cover. All unbuckled passengers hit the ceiling and suffered neck injuries and even death. When negligence leads to such mass disasters, victims and families deserve compensation.
