Helicopter Accidents

Texas Helicopter Accident Lawyers

Helicopter Accidents

Helicopters frequently fly along the Texas Gulf coastline to transport workers (onshore and offshore) as news or traffic copters and for medical purposes. If you have suffered a serious injury, or you have lost a loved one in a work-related helicopter accident, do not hesitate to get the legal representation you need. There are many other commercial uses of helicopters that can cause collisions such as flight schools, medical evacuations, military applications, etc.

At Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels, Agosto & Friend, personal injury attorneys have the necessary knowledge and experience in handling helicopter accident cases. With a track record of success that expands more than five decades, they are one of the leading personal injury firms in the area.

In aviation accidents, it is necessary to act quickly in order to preserve evidence, interview witnesses and document the accident scene in order to prepare an effective case. Contact an attorney our office in Houston, Texas, and we will immediately begin working on your personal injury claim.

We have successfully represented Texas workers in helicopter crashes resulting from anything from pilot error to product failure.

The personal injury lawyers, several of which are Board Certified, at Abraham Watkins represent oil rig workers, news anchors, paramedics and others suffering from a variety of serious helicopter crash injuries, from serious burns to spinal cord injuries to brain trauma. We also represent family members suffering from fatal accidents.

We are experienced with helicopter accidents involving:

  • Defective machinery or incorrect part installation
  • Faulty maintenance
  • Failure to maintain helicopter parts, resulting in product failure
  • Pilot error: neglecting safety measures, flying in stormy weather, missing landing pads, failing to control the helicopter
  • Lack of training of pilots and maintenance workers

Seeking Maximum Compensation for Injuries and Loss

Because of our experience in aircraft and the aviation industry, we are able to effectively handle helicopter accident claims. We understand the pilot's role in conjunction with the aircraft, and can detect when a pilot should have recognized and corrected an emergency situation. We consult experts to identify maintenance failures and determine whether the manufacturer or maintenance worker is at fault.

If you were injured while working, or if a loved one suffered wrongful death in a helicopter crash near the Gulf of Mexico, our firm can help. We will thoroughly investigate the case to determine the cause of the accident and the faulty party, whether that is the manufacturer, a negligent maintenance worker or the pilot. Our goal is to recover maximum compensation for your injuries and losses.
