General Aviation Crashes and Accidents.
The Right Attorney For Your Aviation Accident Case.
If you or a loved one was injured or killed in an aircraft accident, you need an attorney who knows aviation.
Mahmoud “Mach” Khatib, known as The Airline Lawyer, has been a pilot for over 25 years. While there are many personal injury lawyers, very few come with the aviation credentials and experience of Attorney Khatib.
The World of General Aviation.
General aviation includes all flight activity except for military operations and scheduled commercial airline flights. General aviation encompasses personal and recreational aviation, business aviation, flight training, air ambulances, search and rescue flights, aerial firefighting, airborne law enforcement, and aerial work such as agricultural crop dusting, pipeline patrols, aerial photography, and aerial surveying. General aviation in the USA is far larger than most non-pilots realize. Over 200,000 aircraft or 60% of the global general aviation fleet are registered in the United States:
167,000 registered fixed-wing aircraft
15,000 private and corporate jets
10,000 helicopters
34,000 light and experimental aircraft
In total, US pilots accumulate 25 million flight hours each year. With all that flying, inevitably, accidents occur. Every year, over 300 people die in general aviation accidents in the United States.
We Know Aviation.
We handle all types of general aviation accidents: Private charters (FAR Part 135), private carriage and fractional ownership (FAR Part 91), flight training and instructing, pipeline patrol, aerial photography, aerial surveying, crop dusting, banner towing, skydiving, aerial tours, and more.
Don’t hire any personal injury law firm for an aviation accident. Most car accident attorneys don’t know a flap from an aileron. Car accidents are the easiest type of injury case and that’s why there are approximately 150,000 car accident attorneys in the USA.
Aviation is highly technical and there are far fewer attorneys who handle aviation accidents. Determining liability can be complex; there are pilots and flight instructors, FBO’s, air traffic controllers, aircraft manufacturers, mechanics, and many other parties who may bear responsibility.
The Airline Lawyer knows aviation. Attorney Khatib is an active pilot of over 25 years who lives and breathes general aviation.
There is Never a Fee Until We Win for You.
We are so confident we can help you win that we take all injury and wrongful death cases on a contingency fee basis: our fee is a share of the recovery.
That means you pay us nothing upfront, and we don’t get paid unless we get you paid.
WHAT’S YOUR CASE WORTH?
Factors to Consider.
❖
MEDICAL BILLS
The strongest proof that you were injured are medical bills. This is why it is critical to promptly seek medical care from doctors after the accident.
❖
LOSS OF INCOME
If you missed work or are no longer able to work because of your injury, this can make your case more valuable.
❖
PAIN & SUFFERING
Merely making you whole for your economic losses does not make you whole for your physical and emotional pain. You might also have lasting scars that never go away.
❖
INSURANCE
Generally, in order to recover damages, the at-fault party needs to have insurance coverage or sufficient assets.
