Aviation Accident Investigation: Finding the Truth
Victims of an aircraft crash want to know why the aircraft crashed and what can be done to prevent another crash? We relentlessly pursue the answer to those questions. Our job is to determine the cause of an aviation disaster and obtain the maximum amount of fair and just compensation for our clients, the victims, and their families. We use the legal system to hold wrongdoers accountable for their misdeeds that cause aircraft crashes.
Why You Can’t Rely on The NTSB Investigation
You should not rely on the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to determine the cause of a crash. The NTSB’s findings of the cause of a crash are inadmissible in a courtroom, meaning the government’s investigation, good or bad, can’t be used to assist the victims and their families seeking fair and just compensation.
Holding All Parties Accountable
While officially responsible for investigating and determining the probable cause of aviation accidents in the United States, the NTSB is often working together with the aircraft and engine manufacturers. Before the NTSB investigator leaves his or her office, they call the aircraft and engine manufacturers, whose representatives “participate” and “assist” in the government’s investigation. Through their participation as “party representatives” to most NTSB aviation accident investigations, the aircraft and engine manufacturers effectively co-op the integrity of the government’s investigation. It’s the fox watching the hen house.
Uncovering the Cause of a Crash: Our Expertise
Our law firm tirelessly runs down every lead, performs all the necessary engineering analysis and crash investigation, and whenever necessary, we will undertake flight testing to determine the cause of an accident.
