Hurt Or Lost A Loved One In An Airplane Accident?

Our Columbus Injury Attorneys Fight for Your Rights

Picture of a plane
Every year, hundreds of small airplanes and personal aircraft crash, leaving pilots, passengers, and their families devastated by life-altering injuries or wrongful death. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) often finds that pilot error was the cause of the crash. In many cases, the aircraft was unsafe due to design defects, maintenance oversight, or airport errors.

If you have been injured in an aviation accident or have lost a family member in an airplane crash, you need an experienced Columbus injury attorney who is familiar with all the applicable state, federal, and international laws.  Aviation accident lawsuits typically involve many different defendants, including the common carrier, the plane’s manufacturer, the pilot, and the plane’s distributor.  In other words, these lawsuits are extremely complex, and you need an aggressive Columbus injury lawyer on your side.  The personal injury law firm of Kitrick, Lewis & Harris, Co.
