Air travel has become an incredibly popular and cost-effective form of transportation. Statistically, it is much safe than most other forms of transportation. Nevertheless, aviation accidents are disasters in the truest sense of the word, causing widespread death, destruction and misery for affected passengers, crew and pilots, as well as their surviving families. At the Scanlan Law Group, we have experience in handling airplane and airport related injury cases, and we know what it takes to bring a complex aviation case to a successful conclusion.

And aviation litigation is indeed complex. It requires a command of not only state and federal law and regulations, but also detailed knowledge of the technical aspects of aviation, such as equipment, aerodynamics, and flight procedures.

In addition, the law in aviation cases often involves a highly sophisticated interplay of domestic and international law. As a result, these cases often taken years before they are ready for trial or settlement, as injured parties often must first wait for the government to conclude its investigation, and then pursue the defendants-airline companies, aircraft manufacturers, component suppliers, maintenance companies, and in some cases, the federal government itself-in state and federal courts. In addition, expert witnesses are almost always required to explain the technical causes of the crash, and the nature and extent of the victims' injuries and loss of income.

Additionally, aviation injuries don't just occur in the sky. With millions of travelers passing through our nation's airports each year, thousands of individuals are hurt in airport parking lots, departure and arrival areas, terminals, baggage claim areas, jetways, and construction zones, giving rise to often serious injuries.

Because aviation cases can be very complex, you need experienced and aggressive attorneys to successfully handle them. The Scanlan Law Group has the necessary experience. We have sued aircraft manufacturers, airlines and other individuals responsible for aviation injuries, and we are not afraid to take them to trial if one of our clients has been injured. Accordingly, if you or someone you know have sustained an aviation related injury, contact the Scanlan Law Group for a free initial consultation.
