Aviation Accidents
The attorneys of Pocrass, Heimanson & Wolf have represented numerous victims of aviation accidents.
We regularly collaborate with leading aviation professionals and experts to manage the highly technical and specialized counsel that aviation accidents require. In our practice, we have:
- Obtained $4.5 million for a helicopter pilot in a fatal collision
- Recovered compensation for passengers injured during a commercial airplane's runway overrun
- Represented surviving family members of private aviation crashes
- Advocated for victims of in-flight injuries
Challenging Government and Corporate Defendants
In commercial and private air disasters, it is often necessary to have specialized technical knowledge and deep resources to challenge regulatory agencies and government entities, such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
We are familiar with the practices, procedures and rulings of these agencies and governing bodies and continually prove to be effective and respected advocates for our clients before these authorities.
Extensive Aviation Injury Experience
In addition, we have a technical and practical command of safe flight practices, aircraft maintenance and aviation procedures. From commercial jumbo jets and Robinson helicopters, to Gulfstream jets, Cessna Citations and Piper Navajos, our experience covers the wide range of aircraft flying today.
With victims of aviation disasters, we commonly see a high incidence of wrongful death and post-traumatic stress disorders. Combining our aviation knowledge with a profound understanding of our client's injuries, we clearly convey the cause and impact of these injuries. Before a judge, jury and in settlement negotiations, the attorneys of Pocrass, Heimanson & Wolf are an authoritative resource for clients who have suffered an aviation-related injury.
