AIRPLANE ACCIDENTS
Private Airplane Accident Injuries
Attorney Jeanette Secor, PA brings a rare blend of aviation skill and legal experience to private aircraft cases. She has owned—and even built—small planes, which means she understands how airframes, avionics, and powerplants actually work. That practical knowledge helps identify where things went wrong: in the cockpit, the hangar, or the factory. It also helps us choose the right specialists, from A&P/IA mechanics and human-factors experts to metallurgists, avionics analysts, and accident reconstruction professionals.
Private airplane accidents are not all alike. Some involve pilot decision-making; others trace back to missed maintenance, defective components, improper fueling, or inadequate inspections. Sometimes the chain of events includes air traffic communications, weather briefings, or runway conditions. Whatever the cause, the key is evidence—preserving it quickly and explaining it clearly.
What We Investigate After a Crash
Our team moves fast to secure flight logs, maintenance records, work orders, service bulletins, and ADS-B/avionics data. We gather NOTAMs, weather products, and witness statements, and when possible coordinate independent inspections of the wreckage. We understand NTSB procedures and conduct a parallel civil investigation so your claim doesn’t wait in line. From there, we build a liability theory that stands up to manufacturers, maintenance shops, charter operators, and insurers.
Injury claims may include medical expenses, lost income, future care, and pain and suffering; in the most serious cases, we pursue wrongful death damages for the family left behind. We keep communication straightforward and focus on practical next steps—so you can concentrate on recovery while we handle the legal and technical details.
