Private Aviation Accidents

Chicago Aircraft Accident Lawyers

Corporate jets, private planes, ultra lights, pilot training craft and gliders are all general aviation aircraft, as opposed to regularly scheduled, commercial aircraft. At the law office of Lane & Lane, LLC in Chicago, Illinois, we represent people injured in private aircraft accidents of all kinds.

A Higher Risk of Accidents

During 2006, general aviation aircraft were involved in 1,515 accidents in the U.S., resulting in 698 fatalities. These aircraft are at higher risk for accidents than commercial airlines or commuter planes. There were 6.64 accidents per 100,000 flight hours for general aviation aircraft as opposed to .132 accidents for scheduled airlines and 1.071 for commuter planes, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.

In every aircraft accident, our attorneys thoroughly investigate the crash, working with independent accident reconstructionists and other experts to determine the cause of the crash. We will review the pilot's logbook, study the data from the plane's black box recorder, if available, interview witnesses and review all official reports. Our aircraft accident lawyers will track down all possible sources of liability in order to maximize the amount of financial compensation you receive.

Full Compensation for Aircraft Accident Damages

We help injury victims receive compensation for their medical bills, rehabilitation expenses, lost income or wages, pain and suffering and property damage. In cases of wrongful death, we pursue compensation for the surviving family members' loss of financial support and companionship.
