California Charter Plane Crash Attorneys

You are entitled to compensation for all of the losses you suffer due to plane crash injuries. If you have never had to deal with an insurance claim before, you may not know all the losses for which you can recover compensation. It can also be difficult to prove intangible losses. Insurance companies know this.

They have trained claims adjusters who try to pay as little as possible on claims, and they have armies of attorneys to defend lowball settlement offers. You need someone fighting on your side. An experienced charter plane crash attorney will be able to document and prove all the losses you have suffered.

Here are some of the most common areas of compensation in a charter plane crash case:

• Medical Bills – Plane crashes can lead to serious injuries. A negligent defendant must pay for all the medical bills victims incurred as a result of the accident. These costs often include emergency care (such as ambulance and emergency room bills), inpatient hospitalization and surgeries, and follow-up care with your primary care doctor (and any specialists who your primary care physician recommends you see).

  Medical bills also include pain management services, physical therapy, chiropractic care, and any other ongoing treatment you require due to your injuries. You are also entitled to compensation for medical bills you will have to pay in the future. Your injury lawyer will work with economists and medical experts to project the cost of your future medical care.

• Lost Wages – You are likely to miss some time from work as a result of a plane crash. If your injuries are minor, this might just be a few days of work or a few hours lost for medical appointments. Serious injuries can keep you out of work for weeks while you are in the hospital or recovering from surgery. And in the most serious cases, a person is unable to return to work at all.

  Whatever your situation, you have the right to be compensated for all the time you miss from work because of your injuries. You also have the right to be compensated for future lost income if you are unable to go back to work or if you have to accept lower pay to accommodate your injuries (for example, by working part-time).

• Property Damage – In a car accident, a victim can often recover compensation for the damage a negligent driver causes to their car. This type of claim is a property damage claim. In a plane crash, you do not have a vehicle, but you do have other personal items that could sustain damage in the accident.

  Consider the valuable possessions that come with you whenever you travel: jewelry, electronics, wedding rings, and the like. If these items are damaged or lost in a plane crash, you are entitled to compensation for them.

• Pain and Suffering – Pain and suffering is often the largest component in a personal injury award. It is also the most difficult to prove, and for these reasons, insurance companies love to attack its value. The claims adjuster might say that your injuries weren’t “that bad” or that awards in similar cases have been less than yours. Remember, they are on the other side. You are entitled to compensation for all your intangible losses, including:
  
  • The physical pain of your injuries
  • The emotional suffering you endure (for example, PTSD or a phobia of planes)
  • Being unable to participate in hobbies you enjoyed
  • A lost sense of pride in your career (if you are unable to work)
  • The emotional toll your injuries take on your relationships with family and friends
  • The loss of enjoyment of life you experience because of your injuries
  • Ongoing discomfort (for example, losing sleep because you are in pain)
  • Being unable to participate in graduations, weddings, and other major life events
  • Being unable to pick up your children
