Aviation accidents can happen for a number of reasons, but none of these reasons warrant the catastrophic injury and loss of life that can occur when an airplane malfunctions and crashes. Air disasters are almost always the result of negligence: negligent pilots and crew members, negligent maintenance personnel, negligent airline product designers and manufacturers, or even negligent airline management.

Understanding the Causes of Aviation Accidents

In the wake of an aviation crash, it is crucial to investigate the components that could have contributed to the accident; components such as:

  • Aircraft design
  • Aircraft maintenance
  • Aircraft inspection
  • Pilot and personnel training

Thorough Aircraft Accident Investigation Procedures

Our aviation accident lawyers in Chicago are committed to uncovering every element that could have contributed to the ultimate accident. In addition to our own thorough investigation, we work with professional accident investigators and accident reconstruction experts to uncover, review, and preserve evidence that includes:

  • Maintenance and inspection records
  • Aircraft operation and procedure manuals
  • Aircraft training records
  • Cockpit voice recorders
  • Air traffic control records

Accidents of this magnitude will require extensive investigation and research from your legal team. Don't wait to contact an airplane accident lawyer if you were involved in an airplane accident. The sooner you have an experienced Chicago aviation accident attorney working on your case, the sooner you can recover the compensation you both need and deserve.

Local Support for Wrongful Death Lawsuits in Chicago

At Morici, Longo & Associates, we understand the profound impact of losing a loved one in an airplane accident. The emotional and financial challenges can be overwhelming, and navigating the legal complexities can add to the strain. Our team is well-acquainted with the local resources and regulatory bodies that can provide essential support during this difficult time.

In Chicago, the City’s Department of Aviation and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) play critical roles in aviation safety and oversight. While we do not collaborate directly with these agencies, our in-depth knowledge of their regulations and procedures is instrumental in building a robust wrongful death case.

With O'Hare International Airport and Midway International Airport being the busiest airports globally, aviation safety is paramount. The high volume of flights increases the risk of accidents, often due to factors such as negligent maintenance or pilot error. Our attorneys are skilled in identifying these issues and holding those responsible for the tragedy accountable.

Chicago’s sense of community and dedication to safety is paramount. That’s why we are committed to offering compassionate and effective legal representation to help you obtain the compensation you deserve. Whether you live in Lincoln Park, Hyde Park, or any other part of Chicago, we are here to guide you through every step of the legal process.

Don't face this challenging time alone. Contact us today for a free consultation, and let us help you navigate the complexities of a wrongful death lawsuit in Chicago.
