Plane Crash Frequently Asked Questions

I sustained an injury in a plane crash. Can I receive financial assistance with my medical bills?

You may receive compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost wages depending on the circumstances. Speak with your personal injury lawyer as soon as possible about compensation for damages.

Recently in the news, a plane crashed because the pilot was taking selfies. Doesn’t the law prohibit pilots from doing this while flying?

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. Although the law doesn’t explicitly ban private pilots from using smartphones, it prohibits careless or reckless behaviors (like taking selfies) during flights.

My loved one died in a plane crash. The airline offered me money. Should I take it?

Discuss the situation with your Colorado Springs, CO, plane crash attorney before signing any papers or accepting money from an airline or insurance company. They only have their best interests in mind and won’t necessarily offer fair compensation. Your lawyer will help recover the compensation you deserve.
