When Airplane Accidents Happen, You Need a Plane Crash Lawyer
While car accidents may happen more often than airplane crashes, aviation incidents usually lead to far more injury.
The FAA has reported that five airplane crashes happen in the US per day. When planes crash, victims are often harmed far more severely than when in smaller vehicle accidents. (Luckily, fatalities in plane crashes are trending downward – but over 48% of plane crashes cause the victims serious injuries.)
Recovering from an airplane accident can cost victims and their families hundreds of thousands of dollars. The airplane accident lawyers at Jordan Law are ready to help you get the compensation you need to have these costs covered. As a result, you’ll be free to focus exclusively on healing.
What are the Most Common Injuries that Occur in Airplane Accidents?
Our airline crash attorneys have assisted Colorado aviation accident victims and their families for nearly 20 years. In that time, we’ve seen people suffering from a wide range of traumas and injuries – including:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), or head injuries that can impact cognitive function, memory, and neurological health
- Spinal cord injuries, or injuries that can result in partial or complete paralysis
- Broken bones, which may include spine, ribs, legs, or arms
- Extensive burns, from fuel-related incidents or contact with hazardous chemicals
- Soft tissue, or skin and muscle injuries, which can cause limited mobility, pain, and even permanent disfigurement
- Blunt force trauma and internal injuries, including organ damage or internal bleeding
- PTSD and emotional harm, including long-term anxiety, depression, and survivor’s guilt
That last point is critical. Aviation accidents can result in wrongful deaths.If you have lost a loved one in a recent aviation accident, we are so sorry for your loss. We are here to help you ensure that you aren’t left financially destitute and grieving simultaneously.
It’s regrettable but true: Medical bills, loss of income, and even funeral expenses – which can be significant – do not wait for grief to pass.
That’s where we come in.
Jordan Law can help you work towards fair compensation for your aviation accident. This can give you the resources you need to take some time to rest, heal, and move forward.
How Much is an Aviation Personal Injury Case Worth?
The value of your claim will depend on your situation, but one report of victim claims discusses payouts of approximately $170,000.00.
However, that may not represent what you can achieve. We’ve seen Colorado personal injury settlements as high as $131M. Generally, the more severe the accident, the more the case is worth.
If your aviation accident tragedy involved wrongful death or a large airline, your case could be worth millions.

What Can I Do After an Aviation Accident in Colorado?
There’s a short list of essential items you must tackle before you can rest. Here’s what to focus on:
What You Can Do Before You Call Us
The hours (and days, and even weeks) after the crash will be a blur. When you’re able, consider these actions your immediate priorities.
- Pursue medical treatment. This isn’t an optional step. To understand the extent of your damages, we need to know as much as possible about your injuries.
- Document what happened. If you can, pull out your phone and snap a few pictures of the crash scene. (If you aren’t able to do this, please do not feel guilty.)
Writing down as much as you remember about the accident after the fact is valuable, too.
- Notify the relevant authorities. Or ensure that local law enforcement and involved agencies, such as the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board, have been notified.
If your accident was with a larger commercial jet, you probably won’t have to take care of these notifications yourself, but someone must file these reports. If you’re wondering who you should call, talk to your plane accident and crash lawyer – they’ll have helpful answers.
Then, call (303) 465-8733 and retain the aviation accident attorneys at Jordan Law. We’ll set up your free consultation and discuss your case so you feel confident about your next steps.
