How the Stepp Law Firm PLLC Aviation Lawyer Can Help Your Claim

Aviation accident law is complex and requires the skilled legal guidance of an experienced aviation accident lawyer, requiring knowledge of specific regulations that apply to your case. It may also involve taking legal action against large airlines or other companies that retain teams of attorneys to resolve claims for much less than you deserve. 

As experienced trial lawyers with over 70 years of experience, we provide personalized legal solutions by building upon a thorough investigation of the evidence and advocating on your behalf throughout the entirety of your case. 

We manage the following aspects of your case to bolster your chances of success: 

  • Conducting an investigation and gathering valuable evidence to determine liable parties responsible for injuries and damages
  • Partnering with field experts to analyze the accident from various perspectives, including reviewing data from the aircraft flight recorder, and cockpit voice recorder, reconstructing the accident, and others 
  • Working with medical professionals to understand the extent of your injuries and what future losses you may incur 
  • Assess your claim for strengths and weaknesses and provide personalized legal solutions 
  • Determine the monetary value of your claim and fight on your behalf so that your best interests are protected 
  • Fight your case to court if a fair settlement cannot be agreed upon out of court 

Our comprehensive investigations enable us to build a robust claim on your behalf and pursue the complete compensation you are owed. We aggressively negotiate on your behalf with airline attorneys, airplane or parts manufacturers, and other relevant parties. 

The Houston aviation lawyers at Stepp Law Firm PLLC provide legal guidance every step of the way so you may obtain the most successful outcome for your claim. 

Liability in an Aviation Accident 

Multiple parties may be held responsible for an aviation accident, depending on the cause of the accident and what negligent actions played a part in your injuries and losses. Your accident is unique and may require comprehensive investigations and the legal strategy of a skilled Houston aviation lawyer at Stepp Law Firm PLLC to understand the details of your accident. 

Depending on whether your fight was during a commercial flight or in a private aircraft may greatly affect liability. 

Depending on what federal and state authorities’ investigations uncover, the liable party may include:

  • Commercial pilot
  • Private aircraft pilot 
  • Airline or air carrier
  • Maintenance provider
  • Air traffic controller
  • Airport personnel
  • Aircraft designer
  • Aircraft parts manufacturer

During a commercial flight, you are most likely to submit your claim with the airline due to their responsibility for numerous travel and flight details, including the pilot’s or maintenance personnel’s behavior. However, an accident involving a private aircraft is more likely to be an individual’s responsibility. 

Speak with the Houston aviation accident lawyers at Stepp Law PLLC for help in recovering the maximum compensation you deserve for losses and injuries you sustained due to someone else’s negligence.
