Honolulu Airplane Accident Lawyer

Compassionate Honolulu Legal Team Representing Victims of Airplane Crashes

Airplane Accident Lawyer HonoluluIn Hawaii, both small and large planes are used with frequency to travel around the Islands, but while ideal for efficient travel, airplanes are obviously dangerous if improperly equipped or maintained, or if pilots are careless or irresponsible in operating a plane. A Honolulu airplane accident lawyer at Shim & Chang in Honolulu has the experience helping people hurt in plane crashes, and can help you recover compensation after an accident.

CAUSES OF AIRPLANE ACCIDENTS IN HAWAII

Too often general carelessness or an avoidable oversight or mistake causes airplane accidents when they do occur. Specific causes of airplane accidents include:

  • Weather-related pilot error
  • Mechanical-related pilot error
  • Mechanical failure resulting from design or structural issues with the airplane
  • Violations of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations
  • Oversights or errors made by federal air traffic controllers
  • Failure to properly maintain or repair the airplane or a component of the airplane
  • Failure to properly fuel the airplane

Are You Choosing The Right Attorney?

An experienced Honolulu airplane accident lawyer understands how to investigate and prepare a plane accident case, identifying all liable parties and effectively linking certain behaviors and circumstances to an accident victim’s injuries. The Honolulu attorneys at Shim & Chang readily take on challenging cases. For example, we represented one of the passengers injured in the Aloha Airlines midair accident between Hilo and Maui, where a portion of the cabin flew off the plane.

In addition to the FAA, air travel is also regulated by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which determines the causes of airplane accidents. The lawyers at Shim & Chang know how federal rules and findings may affect a personal injury or wrongful death claim and will call on experts to establish the standard of care owed by potentially liable parties to the victim of airplane accidents.
