Miami Airplane Accident Lawyers

Airplane accidents and crashes represent difficult cases to litigate, and our Miami airplane accident attorneys are available for free and confidential consultations for those who are injured or have lost a loved one in an aviation disaster.

An airplane crash and the ensuing investigations and legal actions involve very complex and highly detailed areas of the law. Our firm works with those who have been affected by:

  • Charter Flight Accidents
  • Commercial Aviation Accidents
  • Corporate Jet Accidents
  • Helicopter Accidents
  • Small Plane Accidents

After a plane crash, attorneys and representatives from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are dispatched to the scene. The manufacturer of the aircraft will also send its experts to evaluate the crash and determine the causes, and the NTSB will issue a comprehensive report.

Plane crashes are most commonly the result of pilot error or negligence, which includes everything from failure to obtain the proper clearance and check the weather conditions to being intoxicated on alcohol or drugs and violating various regulations from the Federal Aviation Administration. Defective parts and instruments onboard the airplane or structural and design flaws can also play a role in some accidents, creating a need for legal action based on product liability. Negligent and improper maintenance and repairs of the aircraft also play a role in many incidents, and sometimes the crash could be the result of improper de-icing, airport operations and administration failures, air traffic controller negligence, failures of the flight crew, fueling issues, weather issues and various other issues.

Our airplane crash lawyers represent the victims and their families of these disasters by obtaining all of the available information from the NTSB investigation and then also launching our own investigation using experts who understand the underlying issues that were involved in the accident. We move quickly if we determine that a lawsuit should be filed either against the airline, manufacturer, owner or another individual or company who is believed to be responsible.

Time is of the essence in these cases due to the nature of the investigations and fact-finding that must take place in the immediate aftermath of a plane crash, so we encourage anyone who is injured or loses a loved one in such an incident to contact the Miami airplane accident attorneys of Gamba & Lombana for a free and confidential consultation regarding your legal rights.
