New York Airplane Accident Attorneys

More Than 30 Years of Fighting Hard and Winning Big For Injured New Yorkers

New York Airplane Accident LawyersA plane crash can be one of the most devastating events victims and family members can ever experience. When planes crash, it is often with catastrophic consequences. The majority of airplane accidents involve general aviation flights, such as privately owned and operated aircraft. The most common causes of plane crashes include pilot error, defective parts, or faulty maintenance.

If you were injured in an airplane accident or lost a loved one in a plane crash, you may be entitled to compensation. Gersowitz Libo & Korek, P.C. is a personal injury law firm that specializes in airplane accidents. Our attorneys have the experience and knowledge to help plane accident victims obtain the fair compensation for the injuries they have suffered. We have what it takes to successfully handle your claim, while providing you and your family with the support that you need.

Obtaining Compensation for Airplane Accident Victims

After a catastrophic airline accident, victims often want to know whether they are entitled to compensation and what types of damages can be recovered. Generally, the following people may be entitled to compensation following an aviation accident:

  • Passengers
  • Family members of victims
  • Individuals injured on the ground or their family members
  • Pilots
  • Flight attendants

As a victim, you may be entitled to different types of damages depending on the specific facts of your accident. Some common types of damages that you may be entitled to include:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Loss of wages
  • Loss of future earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of consortium

At Gersowitz Libo & Korek, P.C., we make it our goal to work hard to help you obtain the full compensation that you deserve. Our attorneys understand that dealing with the repercussions of airplane accidents can be difficult for both the victims and their family members. This is why we provide our clients and their loved ones with the compassion they deserve after such a devastating accident.

How To Survive an Airplane Accident

According to statistics, approximately two-thirds of individuals involved in airplane accident survive. One-third of the people who die in these accidents could have survived if they were familiar with the important steps to take in an aviation accident. If you routinely travel on airplanes, it is important to familiarize yourself with the following important steps to take in the event that the plane goes down:

  • Wear your seatbelt and make sure it is securely fastened.
  • Make sure you know where the exits are and which one is closest to you.
  • Remove all sharp objects, such as pens, pencils, and eyeglasses, from your person.
  • If you have the time, wear warm clothing for outside of the airplane.
  • Cover your head with a pillow and either cross your arms over your calves and grab your ankles, or put your palms forward and cross your wrists between your head and your seat.

If you are alive after the plane accident, you will need to take one final important step: to get out of the area as fast as you can. Although it may be hard, the most important thing to remember is to remain calm. Pushing other passengers or screaming and shouting will not increase your safety or chances of surviving the crash. Rather, it will only add to an already hectic situation.

What To Do After a Plane Crash

The decisions that you make after an airline accident can significantly impact your life and the outcome of your personal injury claim against the responsible parties. Aviation law requires you to take certain steps following an accident to obtain the compensation that you are entitled. These complex laws and regulations are hard to manage and follow, especially for injured victims who are not represented by an experienced attorney. Choosing the right aviation accident attorney to represent you is an important decision.

We are familiar with the variations in these laws and regulations and how they will affect the specific facts of your case. Choosing our firm to help you handle your aviation personal injury claim is the smart decision to make.
