Aviation Accidents

Recovery for Aviation Accidents, Injuries, and Losses

If a plane accident seriously injured you or caused the death of a family member, obtain justice. Given Alaska's geography, many people use small airplanes as a regular means of transportation. These small single-engine planes carry passengers throughout the outer reaches of Alaska. At the Law Offices of Michael J. Schneider, P.C., we represent people hurt or killed in airplane crashes. To schedule a free initial consultation contact aviation accident lawyer Michael Schneider.

Representation by an Experienced Airplane Pilot

Attorney Michael J. Schneider has been flying since 1980 and is a licensed commercial pilot. Attorney Schneider has logged many hours as a pilot of single-engine aircraft in Alaska. He is well versed in safe flying procedures, aircraft operations, and F.A.A. regulations governing air traffic in Alaska. This experience affords him the additional skills to handle aviation accident cases. When seeking compensation for your loss, you deserve an aviation accident lawyer with experience in more than the law.

Types and Causes of Airplane Accidents

Alaska’s weather is unpredictable, and this unpredictability increases the dangers associated with flying. Lack of training and pilot error further threaten your safety. Part 135 of the Federal Aviation Administration code regulates the operation of charter flight-seeing excursions and air taxi operations. While requiring certification, the FAA cannot teach a pilot good judgment. If a loved one was injured or killed because of a pilot's negligence or bad judgment, contact aviation accident lawyer Michael J. Schneider.

Recovering Fair and Just Compensation

Understanding what caused the crash and knowing against whom to file a lawsuit are crucial in obtaining fair and just damages. Naming the correct defendants in a lawsuit may enable you to recover from multiple insurance policies. Pursuing theories of negligence and products liability, we may be able to hold the manufacturer of the plane, the owner of the plane, the pilot, and the employer of the pilot liable for your injuries or the wrongful death of your loved one.

The area of aviation law requires an understanding of complex federal and state regulations. With over 30 years of experience, aviation accident lawyer Michael J. Schneider will advocate powerfully for your rights. Contact our firm to schedule a free initial consultation.
