We Handle All Types of Aviation Accidents in Wisconsin
Fitzpatrick, Skemp & Butler, LLC is a boutique law firm in Wisconsin that is devoted to protecting the rights and the interests of the injured, the disabled, and their families. Our firm has the unique legal expertise needed to take on the complexities of airline accident claims. No matter the nature of your case, we are here to help you get justice, accountability, and financial compensation. Along with other cases, our Wisconsin aviation accident lawyers have experience with:
- Take-Off/Landing Accidents: A significant number of aviation incidents happen during take-off or landing. Indeed, the take-off and landing phases are the most critical part of the flight. Even routine operations can spiral into disaster if mechanical failures, pilot error, or runway mismanagement lead to hard landings, runway overruns, or dangerous aborted approaches. Hurt during take-off or landing? You need professional guidance. Our Wisconsin aviation attorneys will thoroughly investigate every aspect of your accident. We are committed to fighting for justice and the maximum compensation.
- Private Aircraft Crashes: Were you or your loved one involved in a private aircraft crash? These accidents can occur in unpredictable conditions—where pilot experience, aircraft maintenance, and proper preflight inspections can all play key roles. Whether caused by mechanical breakdowns, inadequate training, or unforeseen weather challenges, private aircraft accidents can cause terrible injuries. If you or your loved one was hurt in a private aircraft accident, our Wisconsin aviation accident lawyers are more than ready to help.
- Helicopter Accidents: Helicopter travel has the potential to be extremely dangerous. Unlike fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters face unique operational challenges. Helicopter accidents can stem from a wide range of factors, including mechanical failures in critical rotor components, improper maintenance schedules, insufficient pilot training, and taking off in hazardous flying conditions. Our Wisconsin aviation accident lawyers have the skills and experience to take on all types of helicopter crash cases. We fight for justice.
- Commercial Plane Accidents: Commercial airline travel in the United States is considered to be safe. With that being said, accidents do happen. It could be an issue on the plane, a bad take-off, a hard landing, or, while rare, a catastrophic crash. Our Wisconsin airline accident lawyers are equipped to take on cases involving commercial aircrafts.
- Airport Injuries: Airport injuries can occur at any point before boarding or after disembarking a flight. These types of accidents may be caused by overly crowded terminals, faulty escalators, unsafe moving walkways, poorly maintained facilities, or other defects on the premises. For example, slip and fall accidents are a serious issue in airports. Some of the most common injuries include broken bone and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). If you or your family member was hurt in an airport, we are here to help. Contact our Wisconsin aviation accident lawyers today for a free case review.
Every Airline Accident Requires a Thorough Investigation
Airline accidents are a serious matter. They should always be thoroughly investigated. Depending on the nature of the incident, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may launch a comprehensive inquiry. Your case should also be investigated by an experienced Wisconsin aviation accident lawyer. Your accident will gather the evidence that you need to prove fault and establish liability.
Know the Statute of Limitations: Airline Accidents in Wisconsin
You have a limited amount of time to bring your aviation accident claim in Wisconsin. Under state law, personal injury claims for airline accidents are generally subject to a three year statute of limitations. You have three years from the date of the incident to take legal action. However, wrongful death claims for aviation accidents are only two years from the date of the incident. Be proactive: Consult with a Wisconsin airline accident lawyer as soon as possible.
We Fight for Justice and Financial Compensation for Victims and Families
Through an aviation accident claim in Wisconsin, victims and families have the right to seek compensation for the full extent of their damages, including both economic losses and non-economic losses. Unfortunately, the defendants and insurers that are on the other side of these cases care more about their own bottom line than doing right by victims. Our Wisconsin airline accident lawyers fight for the maximum compensation for victims and families, including for:
- Property damage;
- Emergency room care;
- Hospital bills;
- Other medical costs;
- Long-term care;
- Lost wages;
- Diminished earnings;
- Pain and suffering;
- Mental distress;
- Long-term disability;
- Loss of quality of life; and
- Wrongful death damages.
