The selection of an aviation law firm should be a careful and thorough process when an aviation accident occurs. In most cases, state laws only permit an appointed representative, who is usually the administrator of a deceased person’s estate to selects the aviation law firm. The administrator should immediately choose an aviation law firm to handle your case, as there is a statute of limitations that limits the time frame for which you will be allowed to file your lawsuit.

A good aviation law firm should have numerous years of experience in handling aviation lawsuits, and is knowledgeable in the operation, safety features and maintenance of airplanes and its facilities. The aviation law firm must also be well-versed in the current federal aviation regulations and laws, as well as admiralty and other procedural laws. Good aviation law firms will have aviation attorneys with experience in airplane mechanics and is knowledgeable in plane operations. An aviation law firm should have a number of aviation lawyers who are educated in a reputable aviation law school, and should keep you updated of the progress of your lawsuit. Aviation attorneys should always make time for your case, promptly returning any calls when needed.

Aviation law firms normally charge you on a contingency basis, which means that you will not owe the firm any money unless you win your lawsuit. If your case is won, a certain percentage of the money that is paid to you will be paid to the aviation law firm. You should also note that aside from the aviation lawyer’s fees, you should be prepared to pay for any fees for expert witnesses, travel, meals and accommodation. You will also need to pay for any expenses in relation to the preparation of your trial including depositions, evidence materials and other miscellaneous costs. Further inquiries can be made with your aviation attorney as to what other costs are involved in bringing your case to justice.

Aviation law firms are not difficult to find. The Internet, local bar associations or referrals of friends are only some places where you can start your search.
