Understanding Your Rights After an Aviation Accident
Aviation accidents can leave victims and families facing physical, emotional, and financial difficulties. Knowing your legal rights is essential for navigating the aftermath of such incidents. Victims may be eligible for compensation covering:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium
- Funeral costs
- Mental anguish
Your specific rights depend on the accident’s details, such as whether it involved a commercial airline, private plane, or another aviation entity.
Due to the complexities of aviation law and potential disputes with powerful insurance companies, securing legal counsel immediately is crucial. An experienced aviation accident attorney or airplane accident lawyer can provide guidance to ensure your rights are protected from the start.
At Thomas J. Henry Law, our dedicated team assists in gathering evidence, negotiating with insurers, and building a strong case for you.
Who Can Be Held Liable in an Aviation Accident?
Determining liability in aviation accidents can be complex and may involve multiple parties, such as:
- Airlines – for operational negligence or improper maintenance
- Aircraft manufacturers – for defective parts or equipment
- Pilots – for negligent or reckless behavior
- Maintenance crews – for failure to follow safety protocols
Negligence is key in establishing liability. If a party fails to meet the standard of care expected in aviation operations, they might be held responsible for damages. This can involve inadequate pilot training, improper aircraft maintenance, or non-compliance with safety regulations.
Liability can extend to multiple defendants. A tragic accident might involve an airline, aircraft manufacturer, and pilot, all sharing responsibility. In such cases, experienced legal representation from an airplane accident attorney is crucial to navigate aviation law complexities and ensure victims receive deserved compensation.
At Thomas J. Henry Law, our aviation accident attorneys, airplane crash lawyers, and plane crash lawyers understand these cases’ complexities.
What Compensation Can You Recover in an Aviation Accident?
Understanding the types of compensation available after an aviation accident is crucial. Damages are generally classified into economic and non-economic categories.
Economic Damages
- Medical bills
- Lost income
- Future rehabilitation costs
- Funeral costs
Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium
Several factors influence the compensation amount in aviation accident cases. These include injury severity, daily life impact, and financial losses incurred. Additionally, any negligence or liability from the airline or other parties can affect the final compensation.
Documentation is vital when pursuing aviation accident compensation. Comprehensive records like medical reports, accident reports, and financial statements provide essential evidence supporting your claim. Thomas J. Henry can help you gather and organize these documents to strengthen you claim to compensation.

Your Aviation Accident Questions Answered
We have straight answers to difficult questions to help you make critical decisions, navigate legal process and help you get justice.
Following an aviation accident, there are always more questions than answers. At Thomas J. Henry, we’re here to answer any questions you have about your injury case.
How Does the “No Win No Fee” Promise Work?
The Thomas J. Henry “No Win No Fee” promise works as part of a contingency fee agreement. Instead of receiving payments from clients, we recoup fees and expenses from the final settlement or verdict our clients receive.
This allows us to start working on your case as soon as you hire us, ensuring that your case is handled with the urgency it deserves. It also means you can focus on getting better rather than cutting us a check.
The percentage we collect may vary depending on the complexity of your case, but you will be kept informed so you know what we are collecting before your case is closed.
Even better, you owe us nothing if we don’t win your case! Because our fees are collected as a percentage of your settlement or verdict, we do not collect anything unless and until you get your recovery. This means there is no risk to hiring a qualified attorney to handle your case!
Do I Have to Pay to Speak with an Injury Attorney?
Thomas J. Henry Law offers free case reviews so that you can better understand your legal options. This means you pay nothing for your first consultation. Additionally, Thomas J. Henry Law works on a contingency fee basis meaning that if you do choose to hire us, you pay us nothing unless and until we win your case.

Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney Help Me Settle My Case?
Insurance companies will attempt to pay out as little as possible when resolving an injury claim. When an individual pursues compensation from an insurance company without the aid of an attorney, the insurance company may see the lack of representation as an opportunity to lowball the injured victim as there is no immediate risk of trial or legal recourse.
By hiring a competent attorney who has a reputation for achieving large verdicts in the courtroom, you are sending a message to the insurer. It will provide the insurance company with extra incentive to offer a fair settlement the first time.
If that first offer is not fair, an experienced personal attorney will have the resources and the knowledge to negotiate with the insurance company in pursuit of a better offer.
What is a Contingency Fee?
In a contingency fee arrangement, an attorney agrees to accept a fixed percentage of your recovery as payment. This means that if you win your case, your attorney will collect their fees and expenses from the money awarded to you. However, if you lose your case, your attorney will collect nothing.
Most lawyers prefer not to work on contingency cases for two reasons:
- There is a risk the firm will be paid nothing
- Any payment is delayed until money is collected from the opposing party
Generally, a lawyer who accepts contingency fee cases:
- Regularly represents clients who lack the financial resources to pay hourly attorney’s fees (as is often the case for personal injury victims).
- Is more selective about the cases they accept.
- Is very confident in their ability to win the cases they choose to handle.
How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?
The cost associated with hiring a personal injury attorney and how payment is collected may vary from firm to firm. At Thomas J. Henry, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means that we don’t charge our clients a penny unless and until we win their case.
Working on a contingency fee basis allows clients access to resources and legal representation they might otherwise struggle to afford. The more serious a case is, the more money it costs to take to trial. This is because complex litigation tends to take longer to resolve and the entities involved fight harder.
This is especially true if your lawsuit is against a large company, as would be the case in a trucking accident or on-the-job injury. Such companies employ teams of lawyers and have seemingly unlimited financial resources. You need an attorney who has the same. Thomas J. Henry employs a team of more than 100 attorneys and has the money to fight your case out to the end.
Finally, by collecting any fees and expenses after a verdict or settlement is secured, Thomas J. Henry can help ensure his clients are able to focus on healing. “The client’s job is to heal. We will handle the rest,” says Thomas J. Henry.
How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
In Texas, a personal injury case is only worth what a jury is willing to award you. This is why you need an attorney who can not only prove the economic damages you have sustained due to your accident, but can also demonstrate the value of non-economic damages you may have sustained, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of consortium.
