How a San Diego Aviation Accident Case Works
Free Case Review
During your free case review, we listen to your story, collect preliminary information, and provide an honest evaluation of your case’s strengths and potential challenges.
Detailed Investigation
Once the scope of work is signed, our team gets to work conducting a thorough investigation to build a strong foundation for your case examining the accident scene, analyzing flight records and maintenance logs, reviewing air traffic control recordings and radar data, and interviewing witnesses. We coordinate with government investigations (NTSB, FAA) while conducting our own independent investigation focused on your interests.
Expert Collaboration
To strengthen your case, our firm collaborates with experts, including accident reconstructionists, aviation experts, medical professionals, and economists in order to recreate the accident scenario, provide detailed assessments of your injuries and necessary treatments, and calculate the full extent of your financial losses.
Comprehensive Legal Strategy
Based on our investigation and expert collaboration, we develop a tailored legal strategy involving identifying all liable parties—such as pilots, operators, owners, maintenance providers, manufacturers, and, in some cases, government entities—determining which state and federal laws and treaties may apply, and mapping out the best forum and strategy for your case.
Settlement Negotiation
Our goal is to ensure you receive full and fair compensation for all your losses. We thoroughly assess the damages you have suffered, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and loss of consortium (compensation for the impact of your injuries on your relationship with your spouse or family).
Litigation & Trial Representation
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we take your case to court. Our trial attorneys have extensive courtroom experience and are skilled at telling your story, presenting evidence and expert testimony, cross-examining witnesses, and making compelling arguments to the judge and jury.
