Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about aviation accident attorney cases
How do aviation accident investigations work?
The NTSB investigates aviation accidents to determine probable cause. However, the NTSB cannot assign fault for legal purposes. We conduct our own parallel investigation to build your legal case.
Who can be held liable for a plane crash?
Potentially many parties: the airline or aircraft operator, the pilot, the aircraft manufacturer, component manufacturers, maintenance providers, fuel suppliers, or air traffic controllers.
What is the statute of limitations for aviation accidents?
It varies depending on who is liable and where the accident occurred. International flights involve the Montreal Convention. Domestic flights involve state law. Due to the complexity, contact an attorney immediately.
Do you handle cases outside Kentucky?
Yes. Aviation accidents often involve multiple jurisdictions. We handle aviation cases nationwide, working with local counsel as needed.
