Aviation Injuries and Torts Practice
Tripp Scott, Attorneys At Law — Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Generally speaking, weather is rarely the sole cause of airplane accidents. In most cases, some type of aircraft defect or negligence is involved. Examples of this include pilot error, defectively designed airplanes, faulty equipment and components, and poor maintenance. In these cases, victims and families may be able to recover compensation for their losses, from those responsible.
Lawyers in our aviation practice group come from backgrounds as military and commercial pilots and have been Board-Certified in Aviation Law. As a result, they have not only become familiar with all aspects of the aviation industry but also with the various causes and factors that typically play a critical role in aircraft accidents. Our firm has extensive experience with personal injury and wrongful death claims resulting from such aviation disasters and has represented plaintiffs in lawsuits against manufacturer, owners and fixed-base operators.
Our attorneys work closely with National Traffic Safety Board (NTSB) investigators, the FAA, and experts ranging from aircraft engineers and metallurgists to pilots and meteorologists, to determine the cause of the accident and to establish the defendant's negligence in a court of law whenever fair settlement terms cannot be reached out of court.
