Airbus 130 Helicopter Accident Lawyer

Many victims have a combination of these injuries, but even one of them can cause life-long changes that negatively impact your quality of life. Recovering from or managing these injuries can be very expensive so it’s critical that you file for compensation as soon as you can.

Get started on your claim by calling the Airbus helicopter crash attorneys of DTLA.

Is Airbus Liable for My Injuries?

Yes, Airbus is liable if their actions or lack of action was the direct cause of your injury. This is generally referred to as a company’s negligence, meaning Airbus fell short in their duty of care towards its passengers. For example, Airbus is responsible for running tests and maintaining their helicopters so that they are as safe as possible for each and every flight. If they are aware of certain defects and sell the helicopter anyway, that is a form of negligence and the injured parties can sue Airbus for compensation.

Of course, not every helicopter crash is a result of negligence by the manufacturer. Bad weather and pilot error may be to blame. But Airbus has long been accused of neglecting serious complaints that can compromise the safety of their aircrafts. They should not be able to get away with this, and our lawyers are ready to fight for your losses.

If you are a helicopter crash victim or lost a loved one in a helicopter crash, call the DTLA Law Group to learn about your rights and legal options.

Compensation Available to Airbus 130 Helicopter Crash Victims

There’s no set amount that a victim can receive from a helicopter crash lawsuit against Airbus. However, victims are entitled to various forms of compensation, such as:

• Medical expenses for treatments and procedures, including surgery, hospitalization, and physical therapy, now and in the future.
• Lost wages for job loss or career change as a result of disability.
• Pain and suffering to treat mental health issues like PTSD, depression, and anxiety.

Depending on the degree of negligence by Airbus, you may also be able to ask for punitive damages. This is much harder to fight for since you will need to prove gross negligence, or actions by the defendant that caused you extreme levels of harm. Arguing for punitive damages requires expert knowledge from a lawyer with experience in suing Airbus for helicopter crash accidents.

Can I Sue Airbus if My Loved One Died in a Crash?

Yes, you can sue Airbus if your family member or loved one died as a passenger of an Airbus 130 helicopter crash. Our attorneys can help you file a wrongful death claim against Airbus so that you can recover from your losses.

There’s no amount of money that make up for losing your loved one. However, a person’s death has the ripple effect of harming many individuals who depend on them on financial and emotional support. These individuals can be the victim’s children, spouse, parents, or siblings. Our lawyers will fight to recover the following amounts:

• Medical bills associated with the deceased person’s injuries
• Funeral expenses
• Emotional trauma from losing your loved one
• Lost inheritance and savings as a result of your loved one’s death

A spouse or registered domestic partner of a deceased individual can also sue for loss of consortium, which has to do with the emotional loss from losing your significant other. In essence, the love, comfort, and companionship you received from your partner cannot be replaced, and as a result, you are able to seek compensation for those losses. Loss of consortium can also include loss of sexual relations and loss of future children, depending on your age, health, and other circumstances.

Loss of consortium is much harder to recover than economic losses, and should not be undertaken without help from a skilled wrongful death claims attorney. Contact us today to see what other types of compensation you may qualify for.

Special circumstances also apply to brothers and sisters of individuals who died in a helicopter crash. A sibling can only sue Airbus for wrongful death if the victim has no surviving children and both their parents have passed away. You can, however, sue as the executor of the victim’s estate, but keep in mind that the compensation award belongs to the estate. As the executor, you are responsible for distributing the award according to the will’s instructions, or state law in the absence of a will.

As you can see, wrongful death claims are a complicated process and there is plenty of room for mistakes. Our attorneys will ensure that your wrongful death lawsuit against Airbus is filed properly.

Can I Sue Airbus if I’m a Divorced Parent?

Yes, you can sue Airbus if you’re a divorced parent who lost your child in an Airbus 130 accident. Married parents and parents who were never married can sue Airbus as well to cover things like funeral costs, medical bills, and therapy sessions. However, you can only file one wrongful death claim in the state of California, so both of you cannot file your own claim. Instead, one of your will file the lawsuit and list the other parent as co-plaintiff.

And yes, you must give the other parent a chance to join the lawsuit, even if you’re not on speaking terms. If you don’t notify them and they find out about the lawsuit later, they can actually sue you for the damages they missed out on. This can compromise your settlement and add unnecessary stress to your life.

Our wrongful death claims compensation attorneys will take on the work of contacting your ex and advising them of their legal rights. If they want to join the lawsuit, we will address their questions and concerns so that you can have peace of mind no matter what they decide. Call the Los Angeles attorneys of DTLA and let us take care of your wrongful death compensation claim from start to finish.

How Long do I Have to File a Lawsuit?

The statute of limitations to sue for a helicopter crash accident is 2 years in the state of California. This gives you some time to seek medical treatment and figure out how to move forward with your life. However, the costs of recovery pile up quickly when you’re unable to work or cut back on your hours. You may also need to pay for surgery, physical therapy, and other medical procedures. Staying on top of these bills requires compensation from Airbus, so you must file your lawsuit as soon as possible.

In most cases, you are unable to sue for compensation if you miss the 2-year deadline. But the court may grant extensions for victims who were underage at the time of the accident. You can also ask for more time if you physically or mentally incapacitated as a result of the accident. If you were out of the state or country of the accident, more time may be given depending on your circumstances. Our attorneys will be happy to explain this in more detail and verify if you qualify for an extension.

Acting quickly will also give your case more credibility since the details are still fresh in your mind. You also have easy access to information that can serve as evidence. As memories become fuzzy and evidence gets lost, you risk the chance of losing out on compensation that is rightfully yours. Contact our lawyers today and get started on your claim for damages.
