Aviation accidents are rare, but when they do happen, the consequences are catastrophic. Whether involving private planes, commercial jets, helicopters, or air ambulances, these incidents often result in severe injuries or tragic loss of life. At Mahdavi Law Firm, we represent victims and families affected by aviation accidents with unwavering dedication and strategic legal action.

If you or a loved one has been harmed in an aviation-related accident, you deserve answers, accountability, and a law firm with the resources to take on powerful corporations, insurers, and government agencies. We’re here to guide you through the complexities of aviation law and pursue the justice you deserve.

What Is Aviation Accident Law?

Aviation accident law is a highly specialized area that involves both state tort law and federal aviation regulations governed by agencies like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). These cases are often complex due to overlapping jurisdictions, technical evidence, and multiple potential defendants—including aircraft operators, maintenance crews, manufacturers, and airport authorities.

At Mahdavi Law Firm, we work closely with aviation experts, engineers, and investigators to determine what went wrong—and who is responsible.

Types of Aviation Cases We Handle

We represent clients in a wide range of aviation-related accidents, including:

• Private plane crashes
• Commercial airline accidents
• Helicopter crashes
• Charter plane and corporate jet accidents
• Air ambulance and medevac helicopter incidents
• Injuries caused by turbulence or in-flight accidents
• Ground crew or maintenance-related accidents
• Wrongful death in aviation disasters

Whether your case involves a single-engine aircraft or a major airline, we have the legal insight and experience to pursue your claim with precision and care.

Common Causes of Aviation Accidents

While every aviation case is unique, many are caused by preventable human or mechanical errors. Common causes include:

• Pilot error or negligence
• Mechanical failure or maintenance issues
• Defective aircraft parts
• Air traffic control mistakes
• Weather-related errors
• Violations of FAA safety regulations
• Inadequate training or crew fatigue

Uncovering the cause of an aviation accident often requires a detailed, multi-agency investigation. We act quickly to preserve black box data, flight records, maintenance logs, and witness statements to build a compelling case.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Aviation accident victims and their families may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses and ongoing care
• Lost income and future earning potential
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• Funeral and burial costs (in fatal cases)
• Loss of companionship or support
• Punitive damages, in cases of gross negligence or misconduct

We pursue the full value of your losses—financial, physical, and emotional—so you can begin to rebuild after an unthinkable event.
