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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **STOP SCROLLING — If You Need an Attorney, READ THIS!** I don’t normally take the time to write reviews, but when someone goes above and beyond for you and your family, you give credit where credit is due. I hired **Scott at Ramos Law**, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience. Scott has been absolutely phenomenal from the beginning. He is responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and most importantly, **he gets things DONE**. Everything has been handled in a very timely manner, and I’ve never felt like I was just another case sitting on a desk. This accident was especially difficult because **my 7-year-old was also injured and suffered a concussion**. Scott went **above and beyond when it came to our injuries and making sure our family was taken care of**. He listened, paid attention to the details, answered our questions, and made sure our situation was taken seriously. And let’s be honest… dealing with an accident is stressful enough. Add kids, injuries, doctors, paperwork, and everyday life into the mix and suddenly you’re wondering if you need an attorney AND a therapist. 😂 That’s where having someone like Scott in your corner makes all the difference. He has been incredibly supportive throughout this process, and I truly appreciate how much effort he has put into our case. He’s not only a great attorney — **he’s genuinely a good dude**, and you can tell he actually cares about the people he represents. If you’re looking for an attorney who is **responsive, knowledgeable, compassionate, proactive, and willing to go the extra mile**, I highly recommend **Scott at Ramos Law**. **5 stars doesn’t even feel like enough. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** Thank you, Scott, for going above and beyond for me and my family. We truly appreciate everything you’ve done for us!

My daughter and I were involved in a car accident 3 years ago. I suffered severe neck and back injuries so I called Ramos Law. Nick Mayle, Joe Fredenburg, and Cassie Bradford were assigned to our case and they were absolutely amazing! All 3 of them were so kind and compassionate! Nick was my main point of contact for the entire duration of my case and kept me well informed of where we were at and what to expect. He listened to what I needed and assisted me with finding medical care to help with my injuries. He was very quick and responsive to all of my emails and phone calls as well! He gave me great legal advice and I felt comfortable letting him know my opinions and frustrations. He was very open to listening and walking me through everything! Joe was very informative and was able to answer any questions that I had. He really helped my daughter and I understand certain situations when it came to our mediation. Cassie communicated well when it came to the legal documents that needed to be completed and she was very responsive when I had any questions or concerns with filling out the documents. After 3 years of medical appointments and legal negotiations, our case is finally settled and we can now move forward and get the continued medical treatment I need. I really appreciate this legal team and my daughter and I can’t thank them enough for everything they did for us! We would recommended Nick, Joe, and Cassie to anyone who has been injured in a car accident and needs help getting the care and compensation they deserve!
