Why You Need a Tacoma Aviation Accident Lawyer

Aviation law is highly specific, blending complex state and federal regulations, technical investigation, and insurance nuances. Airplane and helicopter crash claims are simply not like other personal injury cases. Multiple parties—from pilots and operators to manufacturers, maintenance contractors, and regulatory entities—can play a role in the chain of events leading to a crash. That’s why it is crucial to partner with a law firm experienced in aviation cases and personal injury litigation.

Palace Law combines years of proven results in high-stakes injury cases with a deep, technical understanding of aviation accident investigation. We know how to untangle accident reports, analyze flight data, and forcefully pursue those responsible—no matter how big or well-defended the opposition.

Common Causes of Aviation Accidents

Air travel is generally safe, but when accidents happen, they are often the result of negligence or preventable errors. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate the circumstances of every case to identify who may be responsible. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Pilot Error – Mistakes during takeoff, landing, or navigation are among the leading causes of crashes.
  • Mechanical Failures – Poor maintenance, defective parts, or design flaws can cause catastrophic equipment failures.
  • Adverse Weather Conditions – Storms, fog, or turbulence can increase risks, especially when pilots or airlines fail to take proper precautions.
  • Air Traffic Control Mistakes – Miscommunication or oversight from controllers may result in mid-air collisions or runway incidents.
  • Negligence by Airlines or Operators – Failure to follow safety protocols, improper training, or cutting corners to save money can all contribute to disaster.

By uncovering the root causes and identifying all potentially liable parties—from pilots to maintenance providers to aircraft manufacturers—Palace Law ensures that no avenue for justice is overlooked.

Types of Aviation Accidents We Handle

Every case is unique, and our experience covers the full landscape of aviation disaster litigation:

  • Commercial Airline Crashes: Large-scale incidents involving major airlines or charter companies.
  • Private & Small Plane Crashes: Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft, and other general aviation disasters.
  • Helicopter Accidents: From transit and medical helicopters to sightseeing rides, often involving complex mechanical or operational issues.
  • Wrongful Death: Compassionate representation for families seeking justice and financial security after losing a loved one.
  • Catastrophic Injury Claims: Cases resulting in traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, severe burns, fractures, or post-traumatic stress.

We also pursue claims when on-the-ground accidents at airports or helipads cause serious personal injury.

The Devastating Impact of Aviation Accidents

Aviation accidents often lead to severe injuries or fatalities, with life-altering consequences for survivors and their families. Victims may suffer:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal cord damage or paralysis
  • Severe burns from fire or explosions
  • Multiple fractures and internal organ damage
  • Long-term psychological trauma, including PTSD

For families who lose loved ones in a crash, the devastation extends beyond grief. Wrongful death claims may help cover funeral expenses, lost income, and the emotional toll of losing a family member. At Palace Law, our mission is to provide not only legal representation but also compassionate support for individuals and families navigating these difficult times.

    I had an outstanding experience working with Ciana on a personal injury matter. Without her expertise, I would have never realized that I even had a case. Ciana’s attention to detail and deep understanding of personal injury law were invaluable. She guided me through every step with professionalism and care, ensuring I understood the process and felt supported. Thanks to her diligence and expertise, what could have been overlooked became a well-handled case. I highly recommend Ciana to anyone needing a knowledgeable and dedicated legal professional.

    Aria has been working with me and she is very thorough. I don’t get good sleep at night because of my injury but knowing that Palace Law is on the job gives me peace of mind specially, when they have employees like Aria thanks for letting me give my feedback and putting me in a position to give feedback.

    “Definitely recommend if you are injured at work and don't know what steps to take.”

    They have been entirely helpful since they accepted my case. Thorough and informative every step of the way. When I had an IME and no gas in my car they arranged for a ride to and from. After fighting tooth and nail myself with little to no results Palace Law stepped in and immediately Sedgwick stopped dragging me through the mud.
