While most people associate airplane accidents with large commercial jet liners and passenger aircraft, there are also a large number of plane crash incidents that involve personal or private aircraft. This includes single engine aircraft, rotary aircraft like privately owned helicopters, as well as recreational aircraft like kit planes and gliders. It is also very common for airplane accidents to occur with student pilots and flight schools.

However, airplane accidents are not limited to the airlines and private pilots. At any given time, there are scores and scores of cargo planes, military aircraft, police helicopters, crop dusters, fire fighting aircraft, and advertising aircraft flying throughout the State of Florida. The sheer volume of these airplanes flying in our skies makes accidents inevitable.

Successful airplane accident attorneys will put tremendous effort into determining who is liable for your injuries. Collecting and analyzing necessary evidence to build the strongest case possible is crucial to success in the courtroom. Even though most cases are resolved without the need for a trial, the ability to prove liability, causation, and damages comprises the backbone of any injury case, including aviation accidents.

Knowing how to collect, analyze, and use evidence is only one part of a successful injury lawyer's case. Knowing how to deal with insurance companies, insurance adjustors, and defense attorneys is also important. Since most cases are resolved by out of court settlement, your injury lawyer must be a skilled negotiator and know how to best present your claim to the lawyers and insurance companies who represent the responsible party.

Even though most injury cases are settled out of court, some are not. For that reason, a person injured in an airplane accident or plane crash must choose a lawyer who has presence in the courtroom and knows how to litigate an injury case through trial. The most successful trial lawyers are attorneys who not only know the law inside and out, but who are masters of oral argument. To win at trial, an injury attorney must be persuasive. This is especially so in complex cases like aviation accidents.

The injury attorneys at Salpeter Gitkin are all of these things. We have extensive experience analyzing injury cases and to build the best case possible. We are extremely familiar with defense lawyers as well as insurance companies. Our lawyers also have tremendous experience in the courtroom and in trial.

Whether your case concerns a very complex aviation disaster or simpler injury that occurred on an airline, we are here to help you obtain the maximum amount of compensation possible.
