Colorado Aviation Accident Lawyers

Flying is often the only choice for those traveling long distances in a short time. Millions of people fly in, out, and across the United States each year without incident. The number of people killed on U.S. roadways far exceeds the fatalities from aviation accidents. Although many people can walk away from serious auto accidents, few can from plane crashes.

National Plane Crash Statistical Data

The U.S. Department of Transportation reports that in 2021 alone, more than 674 million passengers flew on U.S. airlines or airlines serving the U.S. [1]

According to the Aviation Safety Network, 218 people died in 30 aviation accidents worldwide in 2021. [2] By comparison, approximately 42,915 people lost their lives in U.S. motor vehicle crashes in 2021. [3] Common plane crash causes include bird strikes, air traffic control errors, design flaws, lightning, pilot incapacitation, and passenger sabotage. [4]

What Happens After a Plane Crash?

Multiple agencies come together to investigate private and commercial plane crashes. These agencies conduct interviews with instructors and witnesses while experts analyze critical factors, such as:

  • The crash scene and debris
  • Aircraft maintenance and component reports
  • Weather reports
  • Pilot qualifications and accident history
  • FAA and NTSB records
  • Air traffic control records
  • And more.

Once the teams determine all factors, they release the cause.

Plane crash victims’ families endure many difficulties in the days, weeks, months, and years following the accident. You want answers but must wait for the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and other agencies to complete their lengthy investigations. Trying to pick up the pieces when you don’t know why your loved one passed becomes increasingly difficult with each passing day.

The Ramos Law Firm is here to help you. We have many years of experience dealing with plane crash cases. We have a skilled and deeply experienced legal team ready to fight for you. 

Dr. Joseph Ramos, an emergency medicine physician and attorney uses his medical and legal experience and skills in your favor. He helps guide the treatment of those injured in plane crashes and fights tirelessly for those who lost loved ones.

Plane Crash Frequently Asked Questions

Federal laws governing commercial aircraft, pilots, and crews prohibit personal electronic device usage during takeoff, landing, and flying below 10,000 feet. However, these laws don’t apply to private plane pilots. While the law doesn’t explicitly ban private pilots from using cell phones, it prohibits careless or reckless behaviors (such as taking selfies) during flight.

Depending on the circumstances, you may receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Speak with our personal injury attorneys in Colorado and Arizona about compensation for damages as soon as possible.

Speak with your personal injury attorney before signing any papers or accepting money from the airline or insurance company. The insurance company and airline have their best interests at heart and won’t necessarily offer you fair compensation. Your attorney will help you get the compensation you deserve so you can move forward.

Nobody likes getting into accidents and the stress that follows but when you have a good lawyer ,all of that is pretty nonexistent. So I need just take a second and say this man did a great job in helping me out. Great service and an awesome person to talk to. If you go through Ramos, Brian is the man you want handling your case.💯

It is sometimes hard to identify the most important people in your life until that moment when you most need them – they show up! After slamming head first into the side of a car and watching as the rear wheel rolled over my head (helmeted fortunately) I had no idea what the future would look like. What I least expected was that my Brother’s urging that I call RAMOS LAW would be as important and pivotal to my long term Well-being as the actions of the EMT’s, the Emergency staff, the Surgeon and Recovery professionals have been to my Physical recovery. The attorney at RAMOS LAW who took my case, Joanna DeRosia, and her ever-available right hand paralegal, Lydia Beverly, have been my ALLIES as they have navigated what for me is the confusing and potentially contentious effort to hold Insurers to account on my behalf. Their explanations of the process as it has unfolded have always left me with clarity and with TRUST that I would recover physically AND I would also be made FINANCIALLY WHOLE! But for the unflagging efforts of my Allies, MY TEAM at RAMOS LAW, I am clear that being strangled with an over-whelming burden of MEDICAL DEBT would be My Reality! I am and will remain forever grateful to the many who carried me through this challenging experience, especially including my Allies at RAMOS LAW. Gary S Ray

Erika is the best. She was on top of everything that she needed to be on top of. I never had to worry or wonder what was coming next. And my lawyer was awesome, got me more than I expected. I would recommend anybody that’s going through something to go to Ramos Law and especially if Erika is involved.

I am overly pleased with my choice of legal team! Ramos Law has been utterly amazing - and I recommend them to anyone who needs honest, professional, and hard-working people. While my case was being settled for the second half; Ramos Law helped me to obtain the necessary medical records from all the providers that I had seen for my t-bone wreck from 2024. As a result of their help; I was able to be approved for SSDI disability; which really helps since I am a disabled veteran. I am forever grateful for their help, and much concern for my needs. And yes, there were many due to the extreme nature of my case in which I suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury from the wreck. My advice is this: Please hurry and retain them, as they are good. They are trustworthy, and will not pull any strings telling you one thing and then another. They are a God-send. Thanks so much, Ramos Law [Atty. Emily and Ms. Ashley] for helping me. :)
