General Aviation
As leaders in aviation law, the attorneys at Schaden, Katzman, Lampert & McClune handle a wide variety of general aviation plane crash cases. Because they are pilots themselves, our senior partners advocate safety in both private aircraft manufacture and maintenance and are eager to represent those who have become victim to airplane crashes resulting from poorly designed engines, fuel flow systems, auto-pilot systems, and other similar defects experienced by private airplane owners and their pilots. Utilizing both technology and aeronautical engineering expertise, our aviation attorneys excel at discovering the root cause of every plane crash lawsuit that they take on. Representation to the Fullest Extent In 1994, Congress passed the General Aviation Revitalization Act (GARA). Under the terms of the Act, a plaintiff cannot sue the manufacturer of an aircraft or its component parts if the defective aircraft or component part is more than 18 years old. However, a plaintiff may sue if he or she can prove that the manufacturer withheld vital information from the FAA concerning the performance and maintenance of the aircraft and/or its component parts. Also, GARA is retolled if a suspect component part is revised, replaced or updated within the 18 year period. With their extensive knowledge of GARA and its provisions, aviation accident attorneys at Schaden, Katzman, Lampert & McClune analyze general aviation claims to determine whether a client is entitled to file a plane crash lawsuit irrespective of the limitations imposed by GARA. Utilizing cutting edge technology and top aviation experts our aviation law specialists will stop at nothing to promote increased safety in the field of general aviation. |
