North Carolina Personal Injury Attorneys

Commercial Aviation and Private Plane Crash Claims

At Comerford & Britt, we have extensive experience with the representation of aviation accident victims involving severe or fatal accidents in aircraft ranging from helicopters to the space shuttle Challenger. If you have lost a family member in a private plane crash, a commercial airline disaster, or any other aviation accident, contact a North Carolina personal injury lawyer at Comerford & Britt in Winston-Salem.

AV-rated* trial lawyer Tom Comerford is not only a highly accomplished civil litigator with more than 30 years of trial experience, he is also the pilot of his own twin-engine prop jet. With more than 6000 flying hours to his credit, he understands the factors that bear upon the proof of liability in plane crash cases. He's also able to fly practically anywhere in the country to meet with the families of victims, investigate the crash scene, and represent your interests in court.

The ability to move quickly in any plane crash case can represent a major advantage to the plaintiff. The insurance investigators representing any and all potential defendants not only are fast to the scene themselves, but they also go to work on the prospective plaintiffs to probe the possibility of an early and inexpensive settlement.

At Comerford & Britt, our experience with aviation accidents of all kinds can protect you from the prospect of an inadequate settlement of major personal injury or wrongful death claims. We know how to investigate the factors of causation from defective components to pilot error. Above all, our lawyers are skilled with the development and presentation of damages evidence so that no component of your loss will be overlooked in your claim for damages.

Plane crash litigation is often highly technical, and claims are usually won or lost through expert witnesses and forensic testimony. Having represented clients in aviation accident lawsuits all over the country, our law firm has developed a highly effective network of consulting experts who are more than capable of formulating and presenting the critical evidence of causation, liability, and damages in clear and persuasive terms.

The development and presentation of the plaintiff's case in plane crash litigation is just as expensive as it sounds. We have the resources necessary to advance all of the costs and expenses involved with the preparation, negotiation, or trial of your claim. We bear all the risk of our involvement with your claim, and we only collect attorneys' fees and recover our expenses if we win your case through settlement or trial.

Whether your case involves the crash of a private plane or a major commercial airline disaster, our experienced aviation accident attorneys can represent your interests effectively. Moreover, because we carefully limit the volume of cases that we handle, we are always available to our clients to answer questions, respond to sudden needs, and keep you engaged in the progress of your case.
