Colorado Plane Crash Injuries Lawyer
A spectacular landing by a US Airways airplane on the Hudson River in 2009 was a stark reminder of the vulnerability of both crew and passengers in flight. Apparently, a bird (or birds) sent the Airbus A320 on course for collision. C.B. Sullenberger, a highly experienced pilot, brought the plane down successfully in the water, just outside of New York City, saving the lives of everyone on board. A city, a nation and a world breathed a collective sigh of relief at the sight of the dramatic rescue.
Flight Mishaps Injure
This story had a happy ending. Similar stories often end tragically. In many instances, a private plane or a commercial plane becomes a vehicle of doom for the people on board — and even for people on land who are unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Liability Is at Issue
An airplane crash typically injures or kills passengers and crew members. Every person on an airplane that crashes has a separate legal claim against responsible parties: perhaps the airline, the pilot, the airport, an equipment manufacturer, and insurance companies that insure them. Denver airplane crash lawyers of Coppola & Marlin, P.C., have successfully represented a number of airplane crash victims and their families over the years, including people injured in private airplane disasters.
Many Causes
Primary causes of airplane crashes include human error, maintenance defects, and atmospheric conditions such as wind shear and other types of foul weather. Our law firm engages expert witnesses such as accident reconstructionists and product engineers to build strong legal claims against negligent parties.
Serious Injuries
Typical injuries of passengers and crew members include spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, amputations and burn injuries. Clear communication with health care providers is critical as we seek to determine an injured person's long-term prognosis. When we can put a dollar amount on the patient's needs, we can begin to prepare a well-founded claim for compensation that an injured person will need.
