While flying is statistically safer than any other mode of transportation, each year people are seriously injured or even killed in airplane crashes. As common carriers, airlines and others who transport people in the course of their businesses owe their passengers a heightened duty of care to keep them safe from injuries. In addition, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issues regulations that cover almost every aspect of the airline industry, from pilot training to aircraft maintenance standards and procedures.
Any deviation from these regulations may be sufficient to establish legal liability in the event of a crash. Because airplane crashes have the potential to result in extremely serious injuries or even fatalities, it essential that victims and their families discuss their options with a Pittsburgh lawyer at Flaherty Fardo as soon as possible after plane accident.
As in any other type of preventable accident, victims must be able to establish that the accident in which they were involved was caused by someone else’s negligence. In the case of airplane crashes, this negligence would most likely be on the part of a pilot or co-pilot. Other parties could be implicated as well, including any airline employee whose mistake or negligence resulted in or contributed to an accident. Some of the more common causes of airline accidents include:
Determining the cause of a plane crash accident is often a very complicated matter, and anyone involved or affected by one should be sure to retain an attorney as soon as possible. Airlines and other parties involved in aviation are aware of the fact that they operate in a high-risk industry, and they have seasoned professionals working for them whose job is to limit liability after a crash or other incident. As a result, it is important for victims and their families to discuss their case with an accident lawyer as soon as possible after an airplane accident. Among the types of damages that may be available after an airplane crash are the following:
In cases where an individual sustains fatal injuries, his or her surviving family or loved ones may bring a wrongful death claim in order to recover damages for their losses, such as:
Modern airplanes are extremely complex machines, and litigation that arises from an airplane crash often involves legal experts, engineers, pilots, and others with an intimate knowledge of the aviation industry. These cases can be extremely technical and highly specialized. It is extremely important for victims to retain an attorney as soon as possible to help represent airplane accident victims.

I am an out of State client, over 1500 miles away, and through the 2 years of work on my case I never met anyone from the firm in person, yet they treated me like I lived down the street from the office.
I am very pleased with the professional teamwork, and their patience and timely responses to my requests and to the task at hand. They did all they could do to help with the difficult facts of my case, and I am pleased with the outcome. I would recommend this law firm to anyone with the assurance they would offer the same quality service to them as they did to me. Thank you Flaherty Fardo, Carole J. Boyd
Couldn't have asked for a better experience. They are a wonderful group who are efficient, patient, communicative and do their job very well.
They kept me in the loop the whole time and were extremely helpful. I have used a different firm in the past and this was like night and day. If you are considering using Flaherty Fardo for your assessment appeal (or likely anything else they practice) then you found what you are looking for. A special thank you to Nicole who spearheaded my case and answered my never-ending questions. Top notch!
"Highly Recommended" just isn't enough praise. They are by far the best I have ever worked with.
Professional, but beyond that their personal touch is exactly what a medical malpractice client or personal injury client needs. Noah Fardo is amazing, but the entire firm were great to us. I honestly can't thank Bill Rogel, Nicole Hauptman Amick, and Jaclyn Gibson enough. Thank you all.
