Private Plane Accidents

Have You Been Injured, Or Lost A Loved One, In A Private Plane Crash?

While major commercial airline crashes regularly make the news, we rarely hear about private plane accidents, those involving small pleasure or personal aircraft. Yet these smaller-plane accidents are, if anything, even more common, especially in areas like Buffalo with its various medium- and smaller-sized airports.

These accidents are often either fatal or leave survivors like you dealing with severe, even catastrophic injuries that can disrupt your life, end your career, leave you with extensive medical bills and cause months or years of pain and suffering.

When someone else's negligence is the reason for your private plane accident, the personal injury or wrongful death lawyers at the Pigott Law Group in Buffalo can help you claim financial compensation to make the loss and recovery easier to bear.

For What Kinds Of Private Aircraft Injuries Can You Recover Compensation?

Planes, especially smaller private craft you rent for sightseeing or charter for a business trip, can be prone to all sorts of accidents and incidents. From human error on the ground to mechanical failure in the air, someone’s negligence can go a long way toward creating a disaster. Historical statistics suggest that poor maintenance is the leading cause of private plane crashes, though pilot inexperience, ground control mistakes, and weather can also be significant risk factors.

Even if it is unclear what caused the private plane accident, we can help you determine who is responsible and accountable for your injuries or losses. With decades of personal injury experience, we have assisted New York families in dealing with:

• Amputations
• Full and partial paralysis
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Severe burns and disfigurement
• PTSD and other mental health impacts

We can also help if you are recovering from the loss of a beloved family member or provider. No matter the nature of your private aviation accident or injury, if someone else's negligence caused it, you deserve full compensation. We'll make the responsible party pay.

What Compensation Is Available After A Private Plane Crash?

No two aviation accidents are the same. However, if negligence was the cause of injury or death, we can help you claim compensation for:

• Medical bills and other medical costs, from surgeries to physical therapy
• Lost income, including reduced future earnings if you are disabled or a loved one has died
• Pain and suffering or compensation for emotional wounds and disruption to your day-to-day life
• Wrongful death of a family member

You deserve just compensation for your loss. The Pigott Law Group is an experienced team of personal injury lawyers who will hold insurance companies accountable and ensure they won’t minimize your claim to maximize their profits.
