Plane Crashes

Southern California Plane Crash Damages Claims

Few areas of personal injury or wrongful death litigation are more legally or factually complex than commercial or private aviation accidents. Virtually all plane crash cases involve federal regulation, contacts with multiple states of residence or manufacture, and complicated insurance and contractual arrangements. Where multiple factors of causation might be blamed for the crash, it can be a difficult challenge to investigate and prove the facts that point to the clear liability of one or more defendants. One characteristic of a plane crash case, however, is tragically clear enough: the results are usually fatal.

If you have lost a loved one in the crash of a commercial or private plane, contact The McClellan Law Firm in San Diego for a free evaluation of your case and possible claims. Because we limit our caseload, you will be able to depend on prompt access to any of our attorneys and staff, all of whom are responsible for getting to know our clients, your problems, and the status of your case.

In aviation accident cases, our investigation of the liability issues is likely to take us and our experts all over the country, or even overseas. The critical evidence in any plane crash case might be found at the airport of origination, a hangar located at another airport, government inspection files, aircraft maintenance records, the pilot's medical reports and employment files, and at the factories where the plane and its components were built.

While the crash site itself and the plane's data recording system will also yield important information about both the causes and the consequences of the accident, chances are that the most legally significant evidence of negligence or defective design came into existence long before the aircraft took off on its last flight.

Our success in complex injury and fatal accident cases allows us to commit the resources necessary to develop your case as thoroughly and persuasively as possible. We might engage dozens of experts in a single case to contribute to a technically sound and legally effective explanation of the crash. We only recover these expenses when we resolve your case through settlement or trial.

The McClellan Law Firm's resources also allow us to integrate high tech data and communication systems into every aspect of our practice, from client communications to courtroom presentations. This capability helps us keep our commitment to stay in close touch with our clients no matter where we happen to be.

We represent clients in commercial airline disasters, private plane crashes, helicopter accidents, and any other accident involving aircraft. For a free consultation about your legal options in a plane crash case, contact an experienced personal injury lawyer at The McClellan Law Firm in San Diego.
