Plane Crash Lawyer - Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Statewide

The law firm of Wilson, Kehoe & Winingham LLC in Indianapolis has a head start in aviation accident cases due to the fact that several lawyers and staff members at the firm are licensed pilots. Through the years, we have handled many airplane crash litigation cases. We have found that aviation accidents tend to involve a combination of human error and mechanical malfunction.

Sorting out Causes of Plane Crashes

Aviation cases can involve private, military and commercial airplanes and helicopters. Sorting through the issues of poor flight planning, weather and product failures requires extensive litigation experience in aviation. There may be many different causal factors surrounding an aircraft accident. Some of these factors may include:

• Faulty equipment
• FAA regulation violations
• Pilot errors
• Problems in the design or structure of an aircraft
• Flight service station employee negligence
• Negligence in a third party selection of a carrier
• Federal air traffic controller negligence

Attorneys - Pilots at Wilson, Kehoe & Winingham LLC

Our staff includes three licensed pilots with a wide range of ratings and experience. Our licensed attorney pilots hold a commercial license, flight engineer certificate, instrument and multi-engine aircraft ratings as well as flight experience in Boeing 727s and many private aircraft.

During the investigation of an airplane crash, our pilots often fly the same flight path as the one in question in a similar aircraft in order to understand the potential causes and develop the strongest case.

As we build a strong case for compensation for aviation accident victims, we draw on a network of engineering experts, and make use of our knowledge of how to obtain the necessary FAA radar data. We travel nationwide and internationally in pursuit of the right set of evidence to build a powerful case for compensation for our clients who were injured or lost family members in plane crashes.

We have successfully brought aviation litigation against commercial airlines, helicopter and plane manufacturers, pilots, private air transport companies, and the FAA (through application of the Federal Tort Claim Act).
